French charter airline repaints are a bit thin on the ground so i've done a Minerve DC8-53 in the early '80s livery. They also operated quite a few Caravelles and i'll get around to do one of those to complete the fleet. I don't think anybody has done any FP's but if somebody would like to do up some i'd be grateful. They flew charters to Med holiday destinations, Former French North African Colonies and Ad-hoc charters, particularly for Football and Rugby matches. www.box.com/s/ecda882f11dee6569624

I will give it a go but we also need DC-8-62CF/DC-8-73CF and the Caravelle can you do them I will do them for around 1986 I will work on it after I finish Ansett 1980 which is turning out to be a pain.

Ill do the caravelle and DC8-73 if i can find blank textures for those. Did they have the -62 back in '86 though? The only pics of it i can find were in the '90's and i am trying to keep to early '80's era.

Im my 1986 world airline fleets F-GDJM DC-8-62CF is listed under Minerve. Probibly not a very photogenic aircraft in the late 80's Just checked my DC-8 production list and it was picked up by Minerve in November 1982

Probibly not a very photogenic aircraft in the late 80's Just checked my DC-8 production list and it was picked up by Minerve in November 1982 Your right, i just found it in Civil Aircraft Markings 1984 so that's good enough for me. All the pics i can find of it on the net have no titles, white belly and just the Minerve red stripe. Does that match up with you ? Will the DC-8-73CF be the aardvark model? Yes, if i can get an white texture to start with. I think i've seen one somewhere before. For Caravelles i find 5 Total. F-BRGU F-BUZC F-GAPA F-GATP F-GATZ

F-BRGU F-GATZ
The count for my flightplans will have
CRV-2 DC8-2 D8S-1 73CF/1 62CF
Yes I agree for whatever rerason the DC-8-62 had no titles.

I got the white texture for the -73 and hopefully Peter can send me the Caravelle one. I just need to go and look for a -62 blank file this evening.

Thanks for the Logo, but for my repaints anyway Minerve was Logo less during that period. A bit boring, but i always liked looking at that smokey DC8 every Feburary coming in full of rugby supporters. Then the terminal building would fill up with the smell of French cigarettes and DC8 engine oil.

It would be EIDW, and flights coming in from LFPO. Flights would normally be a Saturday. Caravelles also on the same day.
Other rugby destinations if you are interested were LFPO-EGPH (Scotland) and LFPO-EGFF (Wales) and various London airports for England games.
