Many thanks Scott it is a great new one And sure it was fantastic to be the owner the VW van going off the plane in a such way I totally agree Jean Marc. i was stunned when I first saw this aircraft a few years ago. The only one I have seen in real life is an old static one at the Australia National Aviation Museum at Moorabbin airport, and that was just driving past. I must visit the museum one day, considering I only work about 2 or 3 km away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I love the VW camper van!!!! great pics of a great plane (whose model is it??). We have one here in Blenheim (SafeAir/NZ) that does engine run-ups and taxi but sadly not airworthy. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Great shots and a great heads-up on this new model. I remember these (I think!) from my yoof in Southend. Loads of them at the airport, plus I had an Airfix (I think, again) model that I was really proud of. Even though I'm not using P3D much these days I shall have to get a copy of this.

TerribleT Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 So well captured Scott! Do go and visit the museum it's engrossing for at least half a day. We had those aircraft in TPNG for a bit back in the 1960s (TAA and Ansett) and the one in the museum is one of those - huge load carriers, great STOL performance, noisy as buggery and a little awkward to taxy - nicknamed Bristol B*****ds for some reason which now eludes me.

I certainly will do Terry. I have some time off at the moment so when I get back from Adelaide next week I will make a point to visit the museum. I must also pay another visit to Point Cook and the RAAF Museum. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
