Here are a few quick pics of the latest De Havilland Beavers in the SimV downloads.
Out of the wheel, floats, amphibian versions included, this is the amphibian model...
They fly like a dream, excellent for short field take-offs...!

Manoeuvreing into the jetty at Byron lake...(not easy, as all the "Floaters" know)...LOL..!

...picking up passengers after a days sailing...

A view from the cockpit... Grin

...!

..this is what real, fun flying is all about... Grin

Honestly Fozzer, the lengths you go to, just to mention the word Beaver in a post.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I never thought I'd say this to another bloke, but Fozzer my friend you have a very nice beaver.

Great shots but the floats don't look that realistic in the water. Not your fault tho'. I'll take it up with Bill when I see him next.

Who switched the lights off? I can't see a thing....... Hold on, my eyes were closed. Oops, my bad...............&&

Hi Andrew... Grin

(Reply to Cessna519NH...note how shallow the water is? If the wheels were not lowered prior to reaching the waters edge the floats would be holed!...gloop, gloop, gloop).... Wink
