It is a pretty thing. 4 hours ago, Gerrardandrews said: beautiful model, name plate would really add to a already great project 😊 Thank you, Sir. A plate would be a nice touch, I may print one up. But I tend to recycle bases for taking pictures and home display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yes - mail contracts, both in the US and Europe, were really what kept the early airlines in profit. The DC-3 was the first airliner which could generate sufficient revenue from passengers only and turn a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonM Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I had a flight in one from Duxford for my 40th birthday (some years ago!) best bit of the flight were 1) being weighed before loading to balance the plane - heaviest on last (can you nose over a Dragon Rapide?) and 2) the pre flight safety briefing complete with flight card with states one of the emergency exits is a circular canvas panel in the roof which one kicks through! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
