VH-KDK Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 1. Well this first view could be from the 60s with the Bristol 170, Mini and Zombie Van at Essendon. In the days before YMML was built Essendon was Melbourne's International airport. 2. My first views of the FS Addons Bristol, a very welcome addition to my hangar and a first class Christmas present to myself. 3. Plenty of excellent animations. As well as the loading ramp with vehicles there are the chocks and also pitot tube covers which blow in the wind! 4. Climbing rapidly, er no, a very pedestrian pace for this old timer that first flew in 1945. 5. Melbourne's weather stays the same though with sunny skies quickly turning overcast. A top class plane with plenty of detail, a very informative manual and excellent customer support. Well done FS Addons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Martyn, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a variation on Big Head? I like these shots and what a unique cargo plane this is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Big Head was based on the DC-4 and was built in the early 60s but Little Big Nose was from the very end of WW2 and first flew late in 1945. A similar concept though with the raised cockpit to allow for front end loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Christmas, Martyn! Thanks Gerold, maybe by then they would have had some more "up market" transport, like an Austin Cambridge! A Happy Christmas to you as well.

andy1252 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Nice shots, Martyn! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist this beast. Did you have the Airfix kit back in the day? I remember it as one of my real favourites, along with a large-scale (1/24 maybe) F5 Talon (which I think might have been Revelle). I'm hesitating about getting this, just because P3D is some way off my go-to sim these days, but I don't suppose I'll hold out for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy, I did have the Airfix Bristol 170 when I was very young, my matchbox cars were the right size to fit into it! I had a big collection of kits but mostly Airfix. The neighbours young son was over the moon when I gave them all to him when I got married and moved into the tiny flat in Southampton. I have far too many sceneries and planes to dump P3D and I spend equal time on each at the moment. Now, next we need a beautiful Britannia!

Lots of things I have never seen either but we live in hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
