Brit in Auckland

[Scupper]

Haven't done this for a while, but this is a plane I downloaded recently, - used to see them at Birmingham and Heathrow back in the day. Did they ever come here?

Good for nostalgia but not crazy about the flight model, - I can't believe they were this hard to get down from the sky. Also could use a bolder prop disc graphic, - but hey, - it was free!

Yeah, - didn't really want the sun in the picture but without it there wouldn't be the nice spray around the wheels. Thanks for your replies.

Hey Scupper - great pic of one of my all time favourite airliners. Which model is it? I've had one or two in the past, but they didn't do justice to this beautiful aircraft.

When I lived in Gloucestershire, I often went poking around the old Brit being worked on at Kemble seen here.

Scupper , recent post 'F86' mentioned swapping my kitset with my father with this aircraft , a model , funny to think 40 plus years later you can really have a play with them , sure back them i was not getting the engine sound correct

I saw your F86 post after I posted this one. Sure is fun playing with them all over again, and yes, I'm sure the sounds are more convincing now... though there's no reason why you still can't do your own, - as a sort of extra .

"Which model is it?"

It's Jens Kristensen's, available at britsim.com along with lots of other goodies. Just search for Britannia in the files section.

Thanks, Adamski, for the info on the restoration.
