...That should've grabbed your attention . The plane I'm talking about is the De Havilland DH91 Albatross. A beautifully lined Propline from before WW2. She's pretty!!

Well here are the shots (not a very good qual this time ) last few are made with F1-view

Nice props


A lot of air inlets


Yup she's old.....


.....But who cares


I don't


Engine view



Having a look inside


Hey! there's the field


found her at wspilots hope you liked the shots

Hm, somehow two-blade props look pretty bad.
The more blades, the better (four and up).

Beautiful aircraft & lovely shots. I don't see what difference the number of prop blades makes if they're efficient. Extra blades = extra weight.

I think the family resemblance to the Comet jet airliner is obvious. Also the large rectangular cabin windows which were the reason for the Comet's downfall.

And the mosquito is also a supposed deriative, i also see some lines from the connie.

And the mosquito is also a supposed deriative,

So I believe. The same construction methods were used for the fuselage.

i also see some lines from the connie.

I noticed that too. There is a definite resemblance although it could be coincidence.

Wonderful shots!

I'm loving that F1!

So we've concluded it was way ahead of its time. never became popular though......

there's some great vintage London Airports to go with that!

I know they're at Flightsim.com but maybe others (haven't done a search here for them)...

Hmm.... Il have a look into that. Do you know where to get a good Scenery Of Dunsfold Aerodrome? It's a Former BAE factory now out of use but still open. not a important field now but I would like to have some good scenery of it.

Btw you might know the field from Top Gear they use that place

Well of too bed now its 1:22 am here and school starts at 9

I think this was mainly caused by the start of WWII. A lot of promising aircraft suffered the same fate. Ironically one benefit of the war was that, just as in WWI, development of aviation progressed far more in a few years than it would ever have done without it.
