Other GA / C172 G-BNRR (fake USAF livery, recently moved on and re-reg)

C172 G-BNRR in the fake US Air Force T41 colors it wore when based at North Weald (EGSX). This works for me since my sim setup is frozen in 2019. It has since moved on to Devon and Somerset Flight Training and is now based at Dunkeswell, most likely in different colors.

Due to a lot of jiggery-pokery done with block text lettering to set up blocks of color, this is actually pretty accurate!

Other GA / C172 Brooklands Flying Club G-ZACE

C172 operated by Brooklands Flying Club, which obviously is based at, um, Sywell, in the UK (near Northampton). Nowhere near Brooklands.

The BFC logo is not on the tail, but they have a suitable image on their web page at https://www.flybrooklands.com/
A version of this livery was already here, but not "advertised" on the forum. I may even have done that one myself. This time the tail text has been added since that feature is available.

If anybody cares, I have two connections with Sywell - after getting my UK PPL (in my teens), Sywell was the first airfield I flew to on a solo trip (taking a non-flying passenger) to join in with the fly-in for a PFA Rally in the late 1970s. The other is that the Brooklands Flying Club operates a Tiger Moth, G-ANTE, that I used to fly when it was based at Chester and operated by the Hawker Siddeley Flying Club (in a cream and green livery back then).

Other GA / C152 South Warwickshire Flying Club G-BWNC

C152 operated by South Warwickshire Flying Club from Wellesbourne Mountford, EGBW

This and the adjacent repaint for the same club have the fkag of Tuvalu substituting for an ensign on the rudder, and both have the blue shield emblem omitted.

Additionally, the wingtips are a solid color on the real aircraft and there's a lower thin gold stripe that isn't available in the template. So, perhaps a 70% resemblance.

C152 G-BHUI operated by the South Warwickshire Flying Club from Wellesbourne Mountford, EGBW

I made a rough ensign/flag fom the flag of Tuvalu to stand in for the one on the rudder, but there's no easy way to cobble together a shield emblem like the one on the fin.

C172 formerly operated by the National Flight Centre at Weston in Ireland. Currently up for sale.

I took the liberty of the cheap option on the side stripes and use the OCH livery template #1 rather than trying to craft something closer in apperance and taking ten times longer.

If you want to see what I mean, here's the original article.
Yours for only €159,000, EU tax paid Year: 1999; TTAF: 7449h.

A C182 most likely based at Old Buckenham, EGSV. Not many images of it, and none at Old Buck, but the last tracked flight (from Oxford) took it there late in the day. It has most sightings at Denham and Gloucestershire - flights to Gloucestershire go back to Old Buck late in the day as well. Seems reasonable to say this is the base.

Here's an image of it at Shoreham, one of my favorite day-trip landing spots.

A C182 based at Stoke Golding airfield. This is a non-ICAO place that in the "Bones" UK airfields list for FS is coded X3NN, and I believe there is an AFD for this in a small strips addon for FS9 (and later updated for FSX+) created by a group of people including Alan Trussell.

If you don't really want to install a myriad small airstrips just for this one aircraft, you could always base it either at Coventry (EGBE) or Leicester (EGBG) both of which are about the same distance from Stoke Golding. The real Stoke Golding airfield seems to have between 20 and 30 based aircraft, so its important not to assume that because the ICAO aren't interested, it's just a backwater.

A C182 registered to a couple in Kent, UK. It appears to be based at Cannes (LFMD).

There are very few images, but a lot of spotter reports tend to have this aircraft at Cannes.
