VH-KDK Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Not as romantic as it sounds but a flight from Newcastle to Edinburgh in another beautiful old plane from the past, the ATL-98 Carvair. 1. Lifting off from Newcastle International. All these airports now have new fancy names, but I still know it as Woolsington! 2. Turning for Turnhouse over the A1 at Wideopen. 3. Bedlington (for those who like dogs) is on the left and Blythe (for those who like Blythe) is on the coast on the Blythe River estuary. 4.. Not far away and flying over Morpeth. 5. Leaving Morpeth behind with the A1 Great North Road. 6. Close to Alnwick. The weather was usually damp and dreary when I visited this part of the world but my first encounter was on a glorious day like this. 7. Into the strangely patterned Cheviot Hills. 8. On Guard! Flying over the River Tweed at Coldstream! Berwick can just be seen on the coast. Most importantly we are now into Scotland. 9. Well into our descent and Cockenzie Power Station stands out on the shores of the Firth of Forth. 10. Arthurs Seat, Meadowbank Stadium and Hibernian's Easter Road Stadium means we are over Edinburgh. 11. Over the A90 at The Brigg with the obligatory view of the Forth Bridges. Almost at Edinburgh Turnhouse. 12. All the doors open and waiting for the car unloading ramps to arrive. Hope you enjoyed the flight as much as I did!

Sammy H Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 You are breaking them all out of jail aren't you, Lol......fantastic shots of another classic bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Martyn, you sure have a flair for collecting interesting and eclectic planes! When I first saw these I thought, what happened to his screenshot? His 747 is squished! But since you posted the name of it I'm going to go to Wiki right now and have a look at a real one as I have never seen one ever. It looks "cute." Very beautiful shots by the way as well as your tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Lovely set of shots, Martyn. I have a thing about those car ferries, as I seem to remember various of the beasts at Sarf'end in my yoof. I got a couple of the Bristol Freighters onto my system ok, but my Carvair wasn't showing up after I put it on there and I haven't had time to sort it out as yet. Had a quick look but can't see anything obvious in the aircraft.cfg file so need to investigate more, But I will now I've seen these! Lovely jubbly!

Mee too, just love these old planes that I can remember from so long ago. The Carvairs were a regular sight at Bournemouth in the early 70s along with the Bristols trundling overhead on their way to the Channel Islands. I am using P3Dv2.4 and it was a straight installation with the EMT without any problems for me. I have tried the Bristol Freighters and cannot get them to work, strange innit! I shall give it another go and see if I can discover what I have done wrong! Many thanks to you all for your wonderful comments and interest.
