De Havilland Devon crashed in NZ today

Such a nice old plane!With it's original colors!boooo.it didn't deserve that! 😞

Lets hope the syndicate owning the aircraft can make it fly again - here is a guide to how it should look 😉 ➡

For people who are interested, one of my pictures I took of my first flying lesson happened to have the Devon in the right hand corner:

WOW The same one! 😳

wow jarred, that's awesome 😀

btw, the pilot looked really happy no one was injured. Job well done imo!

What more, I learnt from my parents that they knew 2 people on board the plane from a few years ago when I was playing soccer! 😉

Cheeky trolly - Classic British aircraft here ➡

Excellent aircraft with great call up panels and check lists etc. - sadly no VCs (yet) - I think you'll enjoy

Thanks for the links mate,

I have just downloaded the "De Havilland - DH104 Dove / Sea Devon" from a link from cbfsim.org off avsim (http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=De+Havilland+-+DH104+Dove+%2F+Sea+Devon&CatID=root&Go=Search) under the name dh104v1.zip by a man called Derek Palmer, who I have flown with on Multiplayer 😎

The 10mb file took a long time to get but it sure was worth it, the glass cockpit rocks:

😀

Lol, simply a fluke I think! 😉

Yes cheekytrolly, the guys at cbfsim (Rick Palmer, Dave Maltby and Dave Garwood) are a great bunch who have produced great planes. All their work is to same standard as the Dove. You downloaded the same file as me - suppose you want a repaint for the 53 warbird now!
Enjoy the bird - but do n't stuff it into the runway!

Suppose you want a repaint for the 53 warbird now

Is there one available???

CT - Not that I'm aware or have found - you'll have to twist someones arm 😉

download the updated version dh104v2.zip and see the texture difference, its really the best model I have flown. I have studied the flightdeck and its cramped and heavy on the eyes, but find if I look at the desktop photo of a dh104 from airliners.net it all fits into place, I fly liverpool to blackpool in the uk the long way round. whitegate, otringham, polehill preston bpl and its great when you 20kts above stall speed its slow and handles great.
