Classic British Flight Sim

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

Striking Dave and most unusual

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!

Is that just as it appears on radio??

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.

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

The real G-ERTI

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.
