VH-KDK Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 One of the 50's planes I have always had a soft spot four is the C-124 Globemaster II On our trips down to Spain in the early 60 we passed the USAF base at Chateauroux which for me was a great highlight. The C-124 was one of the many types I can remember seeing there. 1. Taking off from Monterry but the weather is not conducive for a sight seeing trip. 2. The TW sound set makes the C-124 sound beautiful. 4. So great to be able to see these amazing old planes in the air again! Luckily the JK C-124 was recently made available for P3DV2 and it works very well in V4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Great shots, Martyn, but a note to the designers of that plane: why do planes have to look that ugly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a cavernous plane Jack, quite a step up from the transport planes before it! Maybe it should have been in a Harry Potter Movie What a waste of two RTs.

I hope you are referring to the plane and not me Paul. So happy to be flying this in P3DV4 and I do wish that they would redo some more of JKs planes so they could be used not in just FSX.

Thanks Bernd, I think it looks beautiful Bernd although I must admit I am not too keen on ladies that look like this! These planes were designed just to do a job which was to carry as much cargo and as big as possible. A monumental step up from types like the gliders and Me 323s that were used before this.

Regent III, was the standard London bus after the war although 151 pre war RT 1s were built. Post war 4674 were built until 1954 along with 500 8 ft wide RTWs and 1631 Leyland Titan RTLs making 6956 of the family produced for London Transport. The last one finished service in 1979. I used to travel on there buses a lot when I lived in Surrey. If you haven't of realised this, I am interested in old buses as well as aircraft!

So when I went to London just about every weekend from 1982 to 1985 and rode on the cool red double-deckers which ones were I on? I loved those things!

I would say that if they were the rear entrance ones with the open platform Jack they would have been the A.E.C Routemaster, RM class. 2876 were built between 1954 and 1968 and over 1200 are still in existence today!
