I believe the Lanc you have is Del Palmer’s Fs2002 Pro jobbie that has to have a “patch” to enable it to work for Fs2004.

There are 2 or 3 patches about for it,but one of ’em won’t let you take off,this sounds like the patch you’ve got.

If you don’t mind paying then the “PlaneDesign” job is the absolute best there is at the moment,though SimShed have one “in the works” which will be a freebie.

According to this website http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/Buccaneer_Index.html? , XK486 to 491 were the 6 prototypes and XK523 to 536 were the 14 pre-production aircaft. The first full production aircraft was serialled XN922.

Hope this helps,

He’s absolutely spot on you know.XK532 is the 9th pre-prod batch aircraft.

What a beauty,a genuine wire twanging Bucc.

Strewth!!!!

You don’t have these problems on FlightSim:rolleyes: :rolleyes: .

Seriously though,I’m itching to see her coming down Cosford’s display line again.
We saw her a few times during that last hectic season all those years ago and she was fantastic.
Just a few slow passes will be superb,never mind those spirited displays she used to give back in her Service days.

The yellow normally used and indeed listed in current UK Mil colours (BS381c)
is No 356 Golden Yellow.

We use it at work for safety rails,machine guards etc and it’s known throughout the works as “Rescue Helicopter Yellow”:D .

If it’s a 1k finish needed we buy it from Firwood Paints or if it’s a 2k finish needed we get it from Leigh’s Paints.Both firms are in Bolton,lancashire and have websites.

Both finishes give excellent results if sprayed on(by me),but if it’s a brush/roller finish you’re after,then the 1k finish can be applied by hand.

What a fantastic thread Steve and many thanks for starting it.

The only TSR I worked on is my Resitech model,but it is one of my alltime favorites.

I ,like many others,have gazed at XR220 many,many times and thought if only…..
I went to see her on airshow day and gave her a pat.

The photographs are fantastic and bring tears to my eye.

Had a very enjoyable day at Cossie.

Got onto the ‘drome with no problems at around 9.00,met up with cousin spadegrip who’d been on the ‘drome since 8.00!!!!!(He’s very keen you know).

The (to back up Fluffy) cloudbase was 600′ and viz 2kms,so the boys in the the BBMF kites(Russ Alchorne and Bob Juddson in the fighters at a guess,listening to the scanner)must have had a pretty exciting run over from Coningsby.

The silly asses in the “flying lawnmowers”(microlights)obviously hadn’t read their NOTAMS and could have been seriously blown off by the Reds.

High notes were Pete Teichman in Jumping Jacques,Coco in the Fleet’s Seafury(spadegrip’s thinking “I knew he’d say that!”)with John Beattie in the SPAD,Cliff Spink in the “ME 109″(Buchon),the P40 which is a very nice aeroplane and sounded very well and the BBMF gang of course.The Spit V looks great in Jan Zumbach’s RF*D’s colours.

Low’s were Pete Vacher’s Hurri going tech,no Canberra or Lanc,though like Fluffy says,she can’t be in two places at once and as to landing at Cossie,well I have seen Sally B and Plane Sailing’s Cat on the grass there.

Getting off the ‘drome was a bit of a pig though.We made to go out through the back gate(Shifnal side)but when we got to the end of 24 we were turned left down the other end of the airfield and had to come out on the Wolverhampton side after queing for just over an hour and a half.Thanks a bunch lads,the Mrs missed Coronation Street because of this blunder.

She say’s she’s not going next year because of that(small mercies eh?).
