FSX Handley Page HP67 Hastings. This is an all-new model of the HP67 Hastings, a British military transport that was the mainstay of RAF Transport Command from 1947 into the 1960s. The last Hastings transport was retired in 1968. Five variants are included: Hastings C.1, C.1A, Met.1, C.2 and C.4. By Jens B. Kristensen.

I was walking up and down one of these the other day. My favourite bit was the copper water boiler tucked in the in the little kitchenette.

They used those things as RADAR trainers for the Vulcan/Victor etc.
 
Definitely a nice model (as you could expect from Jens), but one thing puzzles me..... Why are all the chairs reversed???

Cheers,
Huub
