Hi Guys;

G-APSA is a 50 year old DC-6, still going great guns on the display circuit, although I understand she's just had her passenger carrying licence withdrawn - by the Eurocrat health & safety morons!

Actually owned by Air Atlantique, she's recently been re-painted into original British Eagle colours, and looks fabulous...

Hope you enjoy;

Nice light in the last one. I hope he can get those motors restarted in time!

I love seeing history fly. Those old birds really had a world of class all their own!
