Hi there,

A long-time wish of mine to make a repaint for Dave Garwood's very pretty de Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide has finally come true. The repaint features the 1944-vintage (Brush Coachbuilders Ltd. manufactured) DH-89B Dominie PH-OTA, owned by KLM Aerocarto from 1952-1962 and used for air photography.

It will take just a few days to get the paint properly dry. Available soon at SOH, FlightSim.com, Avsim.com and BritSim.com only.(i hope)

BTW, the scenery, Schiphol anno 1961, has been made by "magician" Harry Biard and his team and is part of the CalClassic Central Europe 1961 scenery. http://www.calclassic.com/scenery.htm

Cheers,
Maarten

Hi there,

The day after I uploaded my repaint for the KLM Aerocarto DH-89B Dominie, I was confronted with to me unknown close-up photos of this aircraft after her unfortunate but not too harmful nose-over when her blocked main wheels had touched the runway at Schiphol after a photo flight on 5 May 1959. (the poor pilot had pulled the handle for the wheelbrakes instead of the flap handle.) It turned out that I used an incorrect font for the name under the cockpit and that the rudder needed a bit more red paint. Luckily, the underside of the plane's fuselage had become perfectly visible, so the installation of the photocamera in the fuselage could be added to the repaint too. Hence this fix which makes this FS2004 version of PH-OTA just that bit more realistic. The fix has been included in the texture file updated on 30 January 2014. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=7&linkid=18090
