Bristol Freighter

[KiwiZac]

Airfix really need to go and LIDAR a Bristol Freighter and then knock out a nice new 1/72 kit.

They should come downunder for a few subjects, the one in my photo would be a good candidate. And make my own conversion build with resin bits redundant (you're welcome).

There's one at the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskawin Alberta, and I've got a few photos I took of one which is a gate guard at Yellowknife Airport in the NWT

There's one up the road form me at the Australian Aviation Museum at Moorabin.

I never saw the one at Wetaskawin. I looked for it tho ! I'd love to see one "in person" My Grandfather had some shots from Baden, not sure where they are now tho.....A couple of them ended up in Larry Milberry books.

Here's a pic of the Wetaskawin Freighter, as it was in August, 08.

And they flew it to the Reynold Museum's (which was an old airbase)

Cool ! Thanks for the pic ! We toured around there darn near 20 years ago now....wow time flies ! Who knows if we'll ever be back with the state of this oil patch.....

I think the one in dogsbody's photo was the last Freighter to fly. Something I would love to see, although just a taxi is pretty cool.
