Yes, I meant the Orbital Sciences but couldn't think of the name!
This is of course unless the last RAF TriStars are not scrapped and actually are exported (which now seems unlikely).

The last RAF TriStar (actually two, so they can both serve as camera ships) had their last flight on Tuesday. I suspect one, two or even three will be static displays but there is little incentive to not scrap the rest.

These are very, very old and well-worn airframes that certainly gave good and valuable service and the British taxpayers certainly got their quidsworth out of them.

and yes I'm totally going to make "quidsworth" a thing

As far as I know none are scheduled for preservation in the UK, the RAF Museum hasn't the funds to preserve one, which was the same story as the VC-10. Hopefully one might end up in another collection like Bruntingthorpe.
The TriStar was never a high-profile type in RAF service and being a non-UK design too means it has a low profile. Which is a shame really.

Ok I get side-tracked pretty easy, but here is my take on the Hutter Hu-211 with Jumo 222 engines (WIP), of which two protoypes existed but IIRC, were destroyed in a bombing raid in Dec. 1944. I scratch built a He-219 and modified it to the one blueprint of the Hu-211 i could find. Critiques welcome as always.

Nice work Imperialist, though Thiel has already drawn the He-219. If you can find it in one of the old threads...

This isn't an He-219, it's a Hutter Hu-211

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BCtter_H%C3%BC_211

I know that, I was merely saying that if imperialist was looking for a ready-made He-219 fuselage, that one exists.

This seems to be out of scale though, the Hu-211 was 16.5m long = 364.5 pixels, this is 353 pixels long. The Hu-211 was around 1m longer than a standard He-219.
