P-47 Sywell to Duxford


Recommended Posts

Here are some screenshots from a repositioning flight in the Aeroplane Heaven P-47D with a repaint by Todd Disrud using the Orbx True Earth Great Britain and freeware ACG Duxford sceneries, in P3Dv5.

This aircraft, "Nellie B", registered in the UK as G-THUN, is the only P-47 flying outside of the US. It is based at Duxford and receives maintenance by Air Leasing at Sywell.

A wonderful set from your flight and some interesting snippets of info especially about the P-47.

A very impressive line up of airliners at Duxford too, I wonder if we will ever get a Trident and Britannia for P3D.
