VH-KDK Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I had been thinking about buying the Dove for a while, I wasn't interested in their introductory offer of the repaint pack as none of them appealed to me. Anyway, I was looking at the freeware on the Flightsim.com site the other night and I came upon a wonderful repaint by Peter Watkins of the CAFU Dove G-ANUT. Their fleet of brightly coloured Doves, the others being G-ANOV/NUV and NUW were regular visitors to Hurn in the early 70s, indeed I first logged this one on the 29th August 1970. Never in my wildest dreams did I think then that one day I would be flying this plane into Bournemouth International. The flight begins at Southend. 1. Bye bye Blackbird. 2. Coryton Terminal next to Canvey Island. 3. The M26 near Wrotham. 4. Junction of the M25 and M26 at Sevenoaks. 5. Haslemere and the Portsmouth Road. 6. Over the South Downs near Corhampton. 7. Southampton Airport not the add on. 8. Approaching Rwy 26 at Winkton using ILS (yay!). 9. The A338 Spur Road. 10. Parked up at Bournemouth International, great flight and scenery but not very smooth flying despite moving the sliders over quite a bit. Always have this problem with England.

The trouble is I do miss a good rainy day, we don't get too many down under. On 16/02/2016 at 11:55 PM, Bermuda425 said: Stunning captures with this historic plane!
