Ok I've fixed it!!!  I came across a thread on the Maddog forum where somebody else had a similar problem, their fix was the download of another paint(texture) job, a more up to date version. I gave this some deep and meaningful thought, as you do, and after this period of great cogitation I ran Maddog with in the MDG texture, and it all worked! thus it was obvious that the fault lay in the Airtours texture file, (downloaded from Avsim Library, and may I say a really lovely bit of artwork!!) the Texture add-on only alters two things, 1, the aircraft.cfg  file, and 2, is the addition of the new texture folder to the Maddog file. Long story short, on checking the two texture files  I discovered that the MDG file had an additional folder in it, LeoMD82_screen_LM, I copied this file to the Airtours Texture file and Voila!!! all is working !!!
 
My thanks to Stans for his input.

Ok, a fix has been found, I found an app on this site for borderless windowed mode for FSX, since my problem is in FS2004 this was not appropriate, so after a search I found an app called Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming (github.com), I installed it and voila! no flickering, there is a little "tearing" or "shearing" but I can live with that, who knows I may find a fix for that eventually! Obviously when in windowed mode there is a slight hit on FPS but it is slight and since I only use 2D for set up I can switch to fullscreen and all is well again.
