JustFlight HS 748 Propliner Released

Give one a good time line, Alistair McLeod shared these photo's with me eleven years back, old Christchurch International Airport in 1968 .. Simply a Gorgeous photo, the stories 'Al' told me, simply amazing what they did with the 748 in the Mount Cook airlines livery, see that kid close to the control tower, that was me .... Naaaaaaah! .. the other of course in Mount Cook itself B-)

I love the pictures from 1968. I sure wish airports still had observation decks! :pop4:

That is one thing that really rips my shorts, the views we had with observation decks, I'm working with this photo rebuilding it to keep the information for a painting I am doing, this is Christchurch in 1964, you could access the deck from the outside but also up to early 1973 one could also stand out in front , if you go to my website http://aviation-art-in-action.com/ ... half way down you can see how they have turned the airport into a cattle shed.

Hi Jeansy. Can you PM me with the details so I can report this to the dev?
 
Not sure if it is me but these are some of the oddities I am experiencing.
