What if/British airliners

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

A couple of years ago a few friends and i got to discussing how the British aviation scene could have been so different if the various governments had backed the various projects a little better (!). This led to me making a few rather basic repaints for AI versions of the VC10, Trident and concorde.....

As i say, rather basic repaints compared to what i've seen on here, but i hope you get the idea!!

 

Loads more here if anyone's interested:

You should try your hand at a Chinese VC10. As that very nearly happened. But for the fact that the assembly jigs had been destroyed because BAC needed the space as they were then becoming heavily involved in the developement of Concorde.

well, apart from the concorde none would have survived, although the Avroliner/RJ was a success

Governments don't dictate success of anything. Market demand and free enterprise does!

uhm, with great britain ruling a quarter of the earth, why didn't they gain acceptance for the concorde which was banned due to the supersonic sound? :blink:

Let's just say that a certain nation that speaks a very similar language to British English did everything they could to scupper Concorde out of pique because they didn't think the Brits and the French were that clever!

Those are great! I find that FedEx VC-10 very believable. Too bad they're about to be parked for good.

Especially like the Iberia, Lufthansa and Alitalia tridents on your site. If BEA hadn't interfered with the spec so much that might have been and the 727's near monopoly of that sector would have been broken? BTW on that subject a TAP Trident would be appropriate too.
