With a low sun angle, the shadow will cast away from directly under the object which is casting it........

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

I have always wondered what the line going from the tail to the top of the cockpit was for.....anyone?

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..........


.......................its probably an antenna ?

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