Had Spitfire G-PRXI fly over the hospital where I work today. Also caught it on my tracker and needed a suitable side view...

Richard,
Dont know if you saw my response yesterday to the great underside/sideview of the spitfire, it does not appear on the website so I dont think it transmitted properly.
I love the idea of the dual views for use instead of silhouettes and wondered if you had thought apnout doing that for other, small historic aircraft such as the Hurricane, Mustang bearcat etc.
Once again a unique flag for a unique aircraft
Regards Mike
Hi Mike
No I did not see your response yesterday. However I am glad you like the idea of the dual views.... I had not really thought about it. I just wanted to get Thank U NHS on there somewhere (not that it came out from the underside of the Spit)
If you would like some dual view of a Hurricane / Mustang etc. I would be happy to oblige. If you have some registrations of the ones that you would like / or others might like please post them and I will see what I can do
Regards
Richard
Richard,
Always looking for new innovations for the flags/silhouettes
Thank you for that, I was thinking more of something more generic based on no particular machine, but the following spring to mind
P51 - G-SIJJ
FURY - G-RNHF
BCAT - G-RUMM
T6 - G-DDMV
Best regards Mike
Hi Mike
Thanks for the info. I will try and knock up some generic ones for you based on those.
Question - white backgrounds like the operator flags or light blue backgrounds like Ian K's silhouettes?
Thanks
Richard
Richard,
The white backgrounds work best for me
Regards
Mike
Had a quick go on the BCAT before the missus gets home. I have done with white background and a light blue background (colour matched to Ian K's silhouette) for comparison. I don't know how you have your basestation / VRS laid out. I show both the silhouette and operator flag on my VRS.
Open to feedback... do we want the a/c type / ICAO code / other info on there somewhere??
May have a go with something larger later, like a C5 and see where I get with that.

Ok, had time for the C5 as well.... one small plane, one BIG plane

Richard,
They both work well with white, not so keen on blue.
Thank you
Hi Mike
Glad you like them. :) I will aim to do up some of the others you have listed and get them posted.
Richard
Richard,
