Flying DC6

The Freshest, Thank you for posting that, 3mins 41secs of big wide smile for me ! Keith.

You really can’t beat the sound of those radials, Im sure its like having 4 Bearcats together. Awesome.

Thanks for that:D

Thought it wasnt worth starting a whole new thread for this so Im posting it on here. Please say if you object.
This is a short video that I shot of DC6 British Eagle at the Biggin Hill airshow. Enjoy

APSA came overhead Southam VRP (close to its home) roughly heading ESE this morning. Heard it first before we saw it – I thought we were about to be bombed. I’d forgotten just how sexy a DC6 sounds! 😀

On here way to France for filming. 🙂

Excellent photos and information…thank you for sharing.

G-APSA passed overhead Stapleford Airfield this morning at 10:45 local in a south easterly direction.

One of those captivating moments. 🙂

One from yesterday morning in Jersey

Does anyone know what day/time she will return to Coventry from Hamburg?
Just for comparison, here is a photo of the original PH-TGA at London Heathrow in 1953 about to commence the London-NZ Air Race. You can see what a good job they have done in making ‘PSA look authentic.

She looks fantastic in that livery and I to hope KLM will sponsor her. Have Air Atlantique still got an DC-6 for sale or is that old news? And is the frogy DC-3 still flying?

I agree she looks absolutely superb – here’s a shot I took of her last Friday routing out of Coventry.

Lovely Tim! Wish she would appear on next year’s show circuit in FULL markings, without having to have the titles deleted? Maybe KLM will sponsor her?

G-APSA Departure

Was working on the Phantom today at the Midland Air Museum and was fortunate enough to see her leave for Jersey.

This was the first time I saw her in her new scheme and I was gobsmacked at her. She looks brand new!!:eek:

I still think out of all CF’s aircraft, the 6 is by far the best! You can’t beat the sound of those four radials………….or three as the case may be:D

Another reason why I hope CF never leave Cov. You can’t beat them sounds and sights.

Well done guys!

This certainly helped Tom. Thanks very much!

The DC-3 and Anson should arrive at Lelystad at approx 0900 local time. The DC-6 may be later as it is coming direct from Jersey airshow.

Hope this helps.

Tom.

Lelystad: Arrival/Departure times?

Hello,

According to http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=74137 DC-6 G-APSA will be flying to the Hamburg Airshow together with G-AMPY, the Anson, DC-2 and another two Dakotas.

Is DC-3 G-AMPY the only Air Atlantique/Classic Flight aircraft that will land at Lelystad this week? Or will the DC-6 and Anson also make a (return)visit to this airfield?
If so, any ETAs/ETDs known for both propliners?

Many thanks in advance for all information given!

Thanks DGH
Roger Smith.

Excellent – thanks.

Sometime around 10.30
