MJN Air

Post by DaveG »

I was modifying the BEA paint for the QW RJ85 to fit the RJ70 for someone, whilst listening to "Cabin Pressure" on the BBC iPlayer.
Think I got a bit distracted :worried:

Striking Dave and most unusual :thumbsup:

Despite me pulling the textures down for the one FSX paint I have.. I still find I can only use the 146/RJ in one session and without too much scenery. If I swap aircraft.. the RJ just won't load. Bloody thing! It's more hungry on resources than Norton Internet Security! :lol:

I've listened to the show (via R4 Extra and the internet) since series one but I always imagined it was a twin engined jet. That paint does look nice on the 146 though. :agree:

GERTI is supposed to be a twin, much smaller too.

Yeah I always imagine a Lear 60 or Citation X type for some reason.

Hi Folks

Nice paint Dave.

Larry -
I've seen refs citing it as a "Lockheed McDonnell 312", i.e fictional.

Supposedly from the scripts,
G-ERTI is a wing mounted twin-engine jet, (16 seater, or 100 otters).

One episode referred to the engines being under the wings, so that limits the possible aircraft a bit.
The Dornier 328 Jet in biz-jet configuration fits. Any other ideas?

The "Lockheed McDonnell 312" shown in the link is an Embraer 190, so I doubt it's the plane talked about.

I would've used the McDonnell 119 with the outer 2 engines removed as the basis if I was them - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_119 :)

The Dornier Envoy is a good fit. In airline configuration, it seats 32, so 16 in a more "executive" capacity is likely as well.
