andiflyit Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Well done shots again Paul, looks perfect. Unfortunately Mr. Tony does not work for P3d and I have TE England in P3d, so I cannot install the airport. But I have this aircraft as well in XP, it's great and it's free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
