I love the big wings and relatively small engines.

I know well Pontarlier, even went to model railway convention there, but where is Fenwick? I only know Fenwick forklift trucks.

Fictional country, first appearing in the book The Mouse That Roared, by Leonard Wibberley

Of course it's also a chain of department stores here in the UK

But those engines packed a punch! Take a look at the number of aircraft that used them, it was quite successful: Bristol Hercules

Excellent stuff   The super freighter is a favourite of mine, and reminds me of the planes I used to draw as a young kid. I should finish mine now.

Haha ! That was fun little read, and very well versed ! Cheers Ratty. The plane looks awesome as well. The colours and markings, the drop tanks....I can almost hear it rumbling from here ! Now where is that bottle of wine.......

The drop tanks probably carry the "Special Reserve Vintage" rather than fuel
