Great shots Martyn.   I miss the Cheyenne, it was my favorite plane. 

Thanks Adam, I miss many of my old piston engined favourites but the Cheyenne would have to be my fav turboprop as well.

Well, at least you didn't waste a bunch of time trying to fly under the rainbow Martyn. You could spend a life time trying to achieve that  Very good looking image with the weather.

Thanks Landon.

Even I am not that stupid as I realised my plane wasn't fast enough to come close to flying under the rainbow!

nice one, hope you found the pot of gold, or Dorothy...

No such luck Wayne.

It wasn't clicking my heels that was the problem but giving the wrong salute!

We are getting poetic and musical on the forums of late.

The feeling for nostalgia has never been greater.

Exactly, Landon. That plane was developed by Digital Aviation and was quite advanced for its time. You could easily mistreat the engine, which would in turn die on you. That zebra paint was done for a DO-27 in 1959 for a German zoo director and his son, who were asked by the British government to try to count wilderbees and their annual movements around Kenya, so that better borders for the huge park could be established. They did not only do that, they also made a documentary from it, which btw won an Oscar the following year. a first for a documentary. I saw the movie as a young lad in the sixties in a German theater and since that day this livery is my favorite for that plane 

Like you said, I haven't seen anyone developing that plane for MSFS yet, but we shouldn't give up hope.

I cannot remember how but I came across Bernhard Grzimek recently. A fascinating story to this man.

[Fly In to Goodwood and a drive around]

Excellent images of this famous location.

Some of my earliest memories are of being taken to Goodwood to watch the racing back in the late 50s.

I still enjoy watching the various events from there on YouTube, much more exciting to me than the computerised procession of F1.

[Moonbeam, leave the shadowy vale.....]

Wonderful images Paul and a very beautiful Mustang you are flying.

Good to see you bringing some cuture to the forums too.

Shelly today, who next?

[An alternate way of seeing New Zealand]

Great scenery from  your Merc Jack but next time don't overinflate the tyres.

I have always wondered what they meant by a fly and drive holiday.

There is something at the end of that rainbow,  but I have a feeling you ain't going to like it Martyn .
