July 28, 201213 yr 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.....

Loads more here if anyone's interested: http://www.flickr.co...57629731582773/ Cheers jon My stuff: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonf45sphotos/ http://www.youtube.com/jonf45
July 29, 201213 yr 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.

August 10, 201213 yr well, apart from the concorde none would have survived, although the Avroliner/RJ was a success RoyalSkies.CO.UK Youtube Vidz !My website will be back soon with new paints and videos!

August 10, 201213 yr governments had backed the various projects Governments don't dictate success of anything. Market demand and free enterprise does!
August 10, 201213 yr 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?

August 10, 201213 yr 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? 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!

August 11, 201213 yr Those are great! I find that FedEx VC-10 very believable. Too bad they're about to be parked for good. John G.

August 11, 201213 yr 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.
