Adam Banks Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'm trying to limit my spending on P3D - saving up for more XP11 aircraft or maybe even later for MSFS 2020. Anyway - the Bristol Freighter is very much part of Kiwi aviation history and not too expensive, so I got suckered in! Here's half a dozen - takenn from a trip from NZAA to NZOM (Omaka): The Bristol Freighter does look like something out of a childrens' catrtoon book, but it has lots of character - and the VC is well modelled.

VH-KDK Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Beautiful images of this grand old plane. The only mystery is, why did it take you so long to buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Flew in one WLG to Nelson, around 1964. It was primarily freight carrying & if you wanted to fly with your car, (in this case a VW Beetle), they bolted in,(in our case), 4 seats, & dropped a tarpaulin to separate 1st class from the vehicle. I recall it was noisy & unpressurized , but a lot quicker than the Inter islander boat ferry across Cook Strait, to Picton. For sure a trip down memory lane. Where does one find the aircraft Adam?
