PR and not Public Relations

Pink was considered the best camouflage colour for PR spitfires which operated, during sunrise and sunset, when the sun was under a low angle

Christophe Jacquard's Spitfire XIX F-AZJS. She used to be with Planes Of Fame and, during a rebuild, was fitted with the engine from a Shackleton & retained the contraprop!

It has now been restored (twice) and is now in 152 Squadron SEAC markings. Much prefer the PRU Blue myself.

Yep, I had seen pictures made during the restoration. Its a pity the contra prop had to go, but the aircraft kept his camera window. And like you, I preferred the PR blue colour. But I think that is personal preference, the owner most likely prefers the camouflage scheme.

The RealAir Spitfire remains a great model, even after all these years, it is still among the best FS2004 models ever made.

I have this one

The real one is owned by the boss of my former employer ( said I had a new job) and flown by the chap whose initials are on the side..

Pete, is that repaint available anywhere? I'm just starting on a few repaints of the Plane Design Spitfire, concentrating on airworthy examples, so I'd be able to cross that one off my list.
 
Its either one of the included liveries (I'm pretty sure it is...) or it was done by Darrin "Hammerd" Covington. As I have it as well.....

And Pete I have this one also! Same aircraft however in the livery it had from 1992 until 2005.

One of the best repaints I have ever seen! also done by Hammerd and available here in the SOH library!

The model is still available at Sim Market.

Kingsday in the Netherlands

Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of our King. It is a national holiday, so we are all happy. We eat too many sweet cakes call "Tom pouce", dress in orange and try to sell our garbage :biggrin-new:

My personal tradition it to go cycling and end up finding my way is blocked due a "free market". Once home again I also have to take one of these awfully sweet cakes.

The King visited Rotterdam yesterday, close to where this airfield was located.

Happy Koningsdag for yesterday!

I feel for you Huub, being forced to eat that 'horrible' cake...;)

Cheers

My wife bought 2 boxes full of these things, as she expected the (grand) children to visit us. In the end she was called by her work whether she could work, because somebody went ill. Of course she did, called the kids they couldn't come, and now we are stuck two boxes of far too sweet cakes........

Life is horrible sometimes :biggrin-new:

ps Hmmmm, now I want one of those.
 
T4N Torpedo Truck Updated

While David's fully occupied with off-live life I've taken the opportunity to step back from the Classic Era into the Golden age and do something I've wanted to do for years. I've completely reskinned our old Martin T4M Torpedo truck. In the seventeen years since we released it I've learned a few things. One is a far better way to depict a finish that deviled me for many years - aluminized silver paint and dope. The base color of the old skins was terrible so I've replaced it with a far better representation. I've also found far more authentic identification colors; some of the colors on the old skins were much too bright.

All the old skins are reworked except for a few I deleted because they were based more on inference than documentation. I corrected errors in one or two others, and added several new ones.

The old model doesn't have a VC so I've made the 3D model visible in VC view and placed the eyepoint where the pilot's eyes would be. If you look around outside the cockpit with your hat switch you'll see the nose, tail and wings of your plane just like you would in a real VC. But if you look down into the cockpit all you see is the inside of the empty shell of the model. Nothing to see here folks, just move long. So not a real VC but a big improvement over the old "invisible cockpit" view. Thanks to normb for showing me this trick!

I hope to finish proofing the skins for errors and get the updated T4M posted within a day or two, maybe as soon as this evening.

Thanks for the heads up Ian. I definitely have a close look at it. But suddenly I'm enjoying flying French jets lately........

(I know the red one is from Belgium)

My wife was watching over my shoulder when I landed the Alphajet at Cazaux AB in France. For sure it wasn't my best landing, but not my worst as well. My wife's comment was that I was lucky it wasn't a commercial flight as most of my passengers would have been scared to death..... My wife clearly doesn't understand anything from flying military jets :biggrin-new:

Cheers,
Huub
