Hi all, I've been working on a model of the HP.81 Hermes 4 for some time now, and I hope to release it next weekend. The Hermes was a fine airliner, comparable to the DC-6, but it was some years behind, and was no commercial success. BOAC used them for a few years, before replacing them with Canadair Argonauts. A few screenshots:   Best regards Jens |

Hi Jens, That's a beauty.  Not surprising, of course, because it is a JBK product. I'm very curious to find out how she flies. Thanks a lot. Cheers, Maarten |

Again, another great airliner from a genius, fantastic Jens, it looks excellent.
I am flying the FS2002 model at the moment, modified for FS9 by that other genius and friend John Hinson.

Eddiejez: if you are looking for one there is an FS2004 Avro Tudor available here, although it really needs abetter cockpit and some repaints...... www.dpsflight.com/Avro%20Tudor.zipIt was the subject of an April fool joke this year (hence the registration) with cross rigged ailerons but is now flyable normally :-) |
