Hodge,  I cannot locate any BOAC repaint for the CS 707 in the AVSIM library (I just checked).

However let me say that I said "maybe" not "was" a pirated copy or plagiarised ! I can only say that when I used to bring up the model, before I deleted the livery from my library, the cockpit registration always read ËAD which is VH-EAD and was the Nat Qantas repaint registration. This never ocurred with any other repaint. So naturally I was suspicious.

However, if as you said it was all yours, then I am happy to accept that and apologise for any offense, which was not intended.

I think your right there about the other repaint, as I said when I went looking for it I could not locate it and the only link to a BOAC repaint is the one I posted at the very beginning.

I removed the repaint I had because it never had any note file to indicate who the author was and I have not downloaded the one by yourself. Iam very wary of any stuff like this having picked up a virus from a piece of so called freeware (from a reputable site I might add) that crashed my hard driver and did a lot of damage to my system. As I said the repaint I originally had kept coming up with VH-EAD on the cockpit placard which was strange and led me to the view it was pirated or copied from somebody else's work. I well understand how much work goes into doing a repaint for a model in flight sim,  I know I have tried unsuccessfully to master the art. This is  another reason why I don't use the many well known file sharing sites that allow this sort of stuff to go on and have always been prepared to even pay a reasonable fee for a repaint job and not expect them for free.

Anyhow I look forward to a revised version of your BOAC repaint at some time in the future, always thought it was a very striking and dignified livery which somehow really made the 707 look quite sharp.

Cheers
