Airliners: I tried it, and found some pics, but very few, especiallt those with floats. As I could see, all floats are inflatable ones, the skids being longer in these cases. Am I right?
I would be happy if you could send me the pictures.
Already thanks!

Is G-JIVE still based at LBA with Multiflight? It was when I did my work experience there in... 1998... yeah, cos the World Cup was on! It was G-DRAR back then too!

Frank: well tbh the ones on airliners.net will be of a better qualitly prob, but i do have several differant views of the a/c if it helps - i'l try and get them scanned by a mate over the next couple of days, if not i'll send them by land mail to you,
GYZL: Yea it was 2000 when i flew her - she diverted into Coney due to an emergency at LBA - a Robin 200 had to make a forced landing in a field half a mile off the end of 14 and there was no fire cover. The next day she needed to be positioned bak into LBA onto Heli 3, so i was invited to fly her on a jolly around the local area. Apparently she is now registered to a company in Sowerby Bridge, but i haven't heard he on the scanner for a while or seen her at LBA, suggesting she may be based in Sowerby Bridge and possably covered by Pennine Radar upon departure

I'm searching for pics of MD-500E with attractive liveries, to make a kit.
And, if possible, does someone also have some with fixed floats? And / or plans and dimensions of these floats?
