FS2004 Don Everall Aviation Ltd. DC-3

Repaint by John Payne. Original DC3 base textures courtesy of Mark Beaumont. Requires the default Douglas DC-3.

The Wolverhampton coach company Don Everall Ltd had an aviation division which was based at Wolverhampton Pendeford airfield and Birmingham in the fifties and sixties. They operated scheduled services from Wolverhampton and Birmingham to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man plus a few other routes with DH89 Rapides. Their first DC-3 was acquired in 1957 and the following year it appeared on most of the scheduled services as well as on inclusive tour flights from Birmingham. A second DC-3 joined the fleet in 1959 and these aircraft appeared at many UK airports. G-AMSF was written off at Birmingham in March 1960 and two Vickers Vikings were purchased shortly afterwards. In November 1960 Don Everall merged with Air Safaris but the remaining DC-3 never became part of the Air Safaris fleet and did little flying thereafter. It's last commercial flight with the company was in January 1961 from Basle to Birmingam and two days later it positioned to Southend to await it's disposal.

To reduce the file download size, the individual texture files contain JUST the repainted file. A seperate 'BASE TEXTURES' folder contain the additional files which need to be copied into ALL of the individual texture folders to enable the texture files to be used in FS2004.

When you have prepared the texture folders as per the above instruction, place them into the Douglas_DC3 aircraft folder in FS2004 and paste the text below into the aircraft config file renumbering all [fltsim.xxx] to the next available consecutive numbers.
