That's a nice plane Crumbso pal. I wish they would repaint that one at Duxford though because it's looking a bit weathered now.
Is this new? I'm sure I once did a search for Hastings at "no noads" and didn't find one. I've been building up a collection of Transport Command types now for a while and this will top off my collection. (Need a Belfast now.)

I know what you mean like that beautiful Victor outside is in definate need of some TLC.

There is a Belfast at alpha sim I know that but it cost £8.38 which isn't that bad I was thinking of buying it for a while.

There is also a Blackburn Beverly here a simv in the vintage section thats actually pretty good.

Thanks for all the replies.

I think they are going to put a lot of the planes outside in the new super hanger when they build it. Hope the do clean and repaint them first.

I've got the Beverly but I didn't know they had a Belfast at Alpha. Might just have to get that then (and the new Vulcans and that super new Jaguar...)

I'm going to wait for the DSB jaguar and if I'm still hungering then I may get the alpha one. One thing I like is that they are now making a Victor which I love.

The line is an arial I think.

Well actually since Transport Command don't utilize the quickest of all flying A/C, some long distance trips can get quite time consuming, and hence the crews need to hang out their laundry after wearing the same uniform for these extended periods......its hard work sitting in one plane for a long time and you can really work up a sweat..........

Nah! That line holds the rear end up so it don't fall off.
