Two more Daks fly into Corgi Field

[BSteinIPMS]

Two unexpected arrivals at Corgi Field were photographed the other day. One was seen at the hangar, while the other was parked at the air freight terminal.

The wife is growing increasingly suspicious of these "unexpected" arrivals... :eek:

Nice Bob. Fassberg still looks good, considering Corgis first AA release.
Air Atlantique 20 minutes away at Coventry (Think Miami old days) Prop City.
Why we have not had DC6 in this scheme, be excellent first issue. That red truck though, looks a bit French to me? Peugot?

[Agent X20]

Sort of a first patches.. nice piccies but where is the Constellation formation..? :D

Thanks, Goony, and I agree: the C-47A looks very nice in person. It, and the Air Atlantique Dakota, sort of just dropped into my lap, as it were.

The red truck is a 1955 International Metro Delivery Van, and is in United Airlines markings. There's a gray one somewhere on the field with "United" in blue....can't spot him at present. Probably chasing down air freight waybills for more shipments of Newcastle Brown Ale..... :D

I knew it! I just knew when I posted the photos of the Daks that I'd be reminded of the forthcoming - and chiseled in stone (according to some) -Constellation gathering at Corgi Field in March.... :rolleyes: :D

Is that when Mrs Bob takes her vacation - so you wont be caught juggling five Connies in your den... :D

[BSteinIPMS]

Yep, she's going to a conference and won't be around to hear the stupifying roar of five Connies doing a formation lomcevak....... :D

[Agent X20]

Shes told you that has she.... :o :o :o :cool:

[Albert Ross]

You had better hurry up and do a Connie Meet at Corgi Field soon, Bob, or you will have a mutiny on your hands............also........these will soon have to be followed by a SUPER Connie meet....trust me :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

See even Alberts after a glimpse of your synchro pair... or a diamond nine loop... :D

[raff]

Great stuff as usual Bob. FYI Connies have passed over me here on base leg. You have the traffic. :rolleyes:

Strange thing Ed, but one looked like it was in Utterly Butterly livery complete with "trimmings" ... but that may be the Rolling Rock effect ... starting to hallucinate! An infusion of "Newky Brown" would help but Corgi Field is out of range. :(

[Agent X20]

So we can expect to see at least one yellow Connie then.. mmm...

[goonybird]

I chucked a Connie out the window tonite...should have flown past Raff about half hour ago :D

[Agent X20]

Could be going the other way round... eastwards.. depends which window you chucked it out of... :D

It's that Pennsylvania Rolling Rock beer what's drove me to Newky Brown, Raff.... :eek:

(...don't tell me your company Yanks have corrupted you..... :D )

All GOOD things come to he who waits!!!......... ;) :)
