AGT can now be downloaded here, I hope I got everything right this time?

[Ian Warren]

Hells Bells JK , its been over a mans life time , no real photo history , scratchy photo detail ... i could only dig up a couple of black and whites .. each paint your do or has been done can now be placed in some sort of archive and be listed showing future generations , ..... now that is a feather in anyone's cap or pocket

I'm pleased and more than a little surprised to be presenting my first ever aircraft repaint!




Built in 1944 as NR693, G-AHKV (c/n 6792) served with British European Airways from 1946. By 1954 Sky Neon Aviation were flying the aircraft at night over London with underwing neon advertising signs. Registered to the Automobile Association in 1957, G-AHKV became the most famous of all their aircraft. Flown by former RAF Mosquito pilot Bill Lewis, she was used as a traffic spotter, monitoring congestion and incidents from the air. The prototype of the DH.89A Mk 6 conversion, G-AHKV had sophisticated electrical and navigation equipment on board. She was also an air ambulance, repatriating AA members who had suffered accidents or illness in Europe and dropping supplies to snowbound villages in Scotland. Sold by the AA in 1963, she was burnt at Birmingham Airport in 1969.

This is for Dave Garwood's de Havilland DH.89A Dragon Rapide Version 4 only. It's compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin PREPAR3D.

Two variants of the livery are included, one with and one without the grey escape hatch on the roof which is visible in some photographs.

Special thanks to Dave Garwood and Jan Kees Blom for their invaluable advice and encouragement as well as persuading me to have a go in the first place!

I'll be uploading it shortly so will post again when download links are available.

A Kiwi repaint will be coming soon as well!

Have a good flight!

Well done Adrian, a most impressive effort. I think that congratulations are in order here. I've been flying the Rapide lately with some of my friends from the UK and US so this will be a welcome and classy addition to the fleet.

Heh heh, thanks Ian. I think I'd probably break down on purpose if it meant she would come to rescue me!
