• eams1938-1.jpg

File Description: For FS2004 and FSX. In 1938 Imperial Airways (IA) and Qantas Empire Airlines (QEA) operated the extended Empire Air Mail Scheme (EAMS) between England and Australia using Short S.23 'C' Class "Empire" flying-boats. (Up to 1938 the EAMS service effectively terminated at Singapore). This flight gives you the information needed to operate the time-tabled route together with the variations that often applied between Southampton and Alexandria. "EAMS 1938" is an update to the original London to Sydney Flight created and uploaded in 2005. This new version has been made possible by additional route details discovered in Brian Cassidy's book "Flying Empires" (1996) and provides for a more accurate representation than did the original. The package contains PDF files for the documented info, some JPG files = one quite rare (the plan for the Groote Eylandt base) - and the BGL files for all the stopping locations.

Trans Oceanic Airways mooring location on the Clarence River, Grafton

File Description: This AFCAD2 file will give you the exact and correct location for the site on the Clarence River, Grafton, where the Trans Oceanic Airways (and later, Barrier Reef Airways and then Ansett Air Services) flying boats would sit and load/unload their passengers. For years I had thought that the location was on the southern bank of the river and it was only in early October 2007 that I learned differently, purely by chance. The Readme contains further information plus the very simple installation process. (Re-upload)

1935 - PAA S-42 - Miami to Rio de Janiero

File Description:
This FS2004 (FS9) flight replicates the route operated by Pan American Airways in 1935 between Miami and Rio de Janeiro. This was the flying equivalent of cruising aboard ship (albeit shorter), taking nine days to complete the trip, with overnight stops at selected hotels - or "modern airway inns", as PAA termed them. The aircraft used on this journey was the new Sikorsky S-42 - at time of completion it was the worlds biggest flying-boat. (A new FS9 model of the Sikorsky S-42 is available at www.flightsim.com. Look for George Diemer's s42nc822.zip)

1929 Solo to Sydney - The flight by Francis Chichester and his DH60 Gypsy Moth "Elijah"

File Description:
This Flight is based on the book "Solo to Sydney", written by Francis Chichester in 1933, in which he tells the tale of his flight from London to Sydney in his little de Havilland Gypsy Moth between December 1929 and January 1930. It covers some 14,000 miles and more than 20 days. He spent 182 hours in the air in total, often exceeding 8 hours per day and, on one occasion, spending 14 hours out of 24 aloft. Chichester later in life became famous, and was knighted for, his solo navigation around the world in his yacht "Gypsy Moth IV".

1934 - Brisfit to Baghdad

File Description:
The idea for this real-life Flight came from the pages of the October 2007 edition of "Aeroplane Monthly', a magazine which has been the source of inspiration for a couple of Flights that I've created. In this one, two university undergraduates - one the pilot, the other a friend who wanted to go to Iraq to see his parents - fly an old Bristol Fighter from England to Baghdad via France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Syria and then return via Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Italy and France. The 'Brisfit' they bought for 100 pounds. Built in 1918, it had been declared surplus by the Air ministry in 1924 and was registered G-ABYE. The journey began on August 10th. 1934 and they returned on September 17th. ReadMe included with the simple installation instructions.

"Imperial 109" - The journey of Imperial Airways S.23 "Caterina" in 1939, from the novel by Richard Doyle.

File Description:
In 1977 the novel "Imperial 109", by Richard Doyle, was published. The story is based on the flight of an Imperial Airways Short 'Empire' Class flying-boat, "Caterina", on its journey through Africa to Cairo and onwards through Europe to England and finally across the Atlantic to New York. When I read this novel just recently I couldn't help but think that it would make a wonderful Flight for Flight Simulator, and the fact that the characters and storyline was fiction was of no concern, because the airline, the aircraft and the route flown were real. I also considered that the best way to present this was to publish it as an unfolding story in blog format, in the same fashion as the Sir Alan Cobham flight around Africa which I had undertaken. Therefore I present you with "Imperial 109" for Microsoft Flight Simulator and you can take part by following and flying the updates as I present them online.
