Graham Boak Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Very nice indeed. Suspect Aer Lingus had Friendships not Heralds, but Heralds will have been common visitors with Jersey, later Channel, and BUIA later Air UK. Flew to Jersey in a Herald from Blackpool many years back, but didn't see anything else quite so interesting. Did manage a hop across to Jersey in an Islander. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Graham when I wrote above & had thoughts that it may have been the Fokker. Interesting they looked so similar. Made a difference both aircraft. They put Jersey Airport in virtually the highest point on the island. Very windy. Both aircraft flew when others with wings at the bottom of the fuselage stayed at home. Islander. Got one to add to my airport. One of the aircraft in their fleet was named JOEY from its registration. Kids took it on board. Someone wrote a Joey book for young kids.

Graham Boak Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I flew in a Islander from Bristol in its development days, but actually it was a Trislander I flew in from Jersey. Must have been confused by the Airfix kit. Before the days of Joey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been confused by the Airfix kit. Before the days of Joey. Think I have confused things Graham. Islander was the basis of Aurigny Airways. They changed to the Trislander of which one was JOEY. The one I am building from Airfix is the Islander. When flying in that as there was only one pilot, not wide enough for two. Had this mad idea I would crawl forward to take over should the pilot have problems. Phew that is sorted. Going for a rest. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 No, I just mixed the two in my memory. It was indeed Aurigny Airways. in the same colour scheme as the Airfix kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will build the next one in the Dan Air scheme Thank you very much indeed. Watch the cockpit canopy. If it is the same. Side windows first. It was a real naughty area. Also getting the black & decals on the nose to sync. Found impossible. Had to extend the black with Tamiya X1 which is semi gloss using a hand brush fully loaded. Did the job but oh hack very stressfull. Laurie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 That’s a great finish on the Dakota Laurie and it looks the part in the airport diorama. Not many builds to go 😂😂. I’ll look forward to seeing the Islander. They were built in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight and there was a good view of the airfield and factory from my Grandad’s house in St Helens, just up the road. It’s nice to see your vision for Jersey airport really taking shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think two or 3 are going to be suspended from the shelf above the diorama. Hope you are all well down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
