Good evening to all !
This is my first ever post here so let me first tell you I am very glad I could find this place with such great ressources and amazing work from many of you. Thank you all of you for all you did.
This being said, I just uploaded my first homemade package. This is all about Debonair Airways, a UK low cost carriers that only flew a few years at the end of last century. As part of 1998 traffic project, I completed both flightplans and a repaint for the FM Bae146-200. Unfortunately the resolution is not great especially on the fin but couldn't find a high resolution logo on the internet (plus this is one of my first repaints...!)

Wow! Thank you for this! Great work! I've always had a lot of interest in that carrier. cgold had the 737-300 painted I think. Did those just do charters? I know they failed right after they got them. Since you did that paint, you've already done about 90% of Discovery Airlines. They were an HNL-based interisland carrier that preceeded Debonair in 1990. When they failed, the planes were used to start Debonair with the same livery except for the removal of the "smilie face", like PSA had, and new titles. More about them here: departedwings.com/The%20Airlines/Discovery/Discovery.htm |

 Actually, looking at this modification I made of a Debonair livery for the Quality Wings BAe-146 model into the Discovery Airlines livery, I realize that it was Debonair and not Discovery that had the "smile". So you may want to double check, as I'm pretty sure the Debonair planes had the smiley face which was a pretty cool part of the livery!  |

Thanks a lot for the infos and encouragement ! You are actually right, after checking, Debonair 146 got the smile and nose; I missed this important detail ! I had no clue about Discovery, nice to know... I just happened to edit the livery to enhance the tail logo that was pretty bad thanks to Christian's help and his 737. I will eventually try to make version 3 with the smile and the discovery livery at the same Time. I'll post it when done. Maybe on a new box as the Avsim uploading procedure is a bit annoying with the 1/2 days delay for publication. I'll let you know 
Version 2 tx to Christian (will be avail within 2 days on Avsim) :

Awesome! So cool that they did that! I only recently learned that Debonair was a full service airline that was highly regarded, I had assumed like most 90s start ups that they were a low cost carrier(though they did lower prices).
Thanks again for doing this!
BTW the Avsim link doesn't seem to work.
As for Discovery, looks like Departedflights.com has the 1989 OAG and 1991 OAG, so not sure where to find the schedule for this airline which operated for just a few months in 1990. If anyone ever finds the plans, I can do that carrier. They weren't very big.

Thanks ! Haven't checked the avsim link, especially because the last I sent was version 2 without smile and if I send again a new version within 24h they will most likely hate me ! It should be available on my drive anyway. Tell me if it's not. I will edit my post above to remove the avsim link and avoid confusion |

I think I may have caused some confusion... I was asking about the Discovery Air 146-200 for QualityWings. Cheers! |
