Couldn't find any Pembrokes that flew in NZ, but there used to be two non-flying, although there is only one now - which seemed as good a flightplan as any :lol:

I cheated. Wanaka - overhead Kaikoura - Stratford is about 480 miles, so about 3.5 hrs, cruising at 150kts...I got tired of it yesty after Kaikoura and started again this morning from Wanganui. :rolleyes:
I was hoping no-one would notice the shadows were wrong :lol:

Always liked the Pembroke - saw one at a BoB Day at RAF Leuchars in the early 1960s and didn't know what it was. Had a lot of fun with Manfred Jahn's FS2004 one, plus a Lars Fors panel.
:) If you didn't spot the shadows error, what made you ask?

Don't know Marty - Rick did the Varsity/Valetta/Viking trio, similar class of plane sharing some features with the Wellington, but the only Pembroke I knew of was done by Manfred, in his early days...Of course Rick's Jet Provost is probably the best-known Percival model ever.
