For those who need to have a small plane as either a pilot trainer or simple a small local courier craft, here is the 172 Classic livery - a hybrid of the 1950's and modern livery for Skyways.
___________________________________________________
Skyways Limited was an early post-World War II British airline formed in 1946 that soon became well-established as the biggest operator of non-scheduled air services in Europe.
Its principal activities included the operation of worldwide non-scheduled passenger and cargo services, including trooping and oil industry support flights, inclusive tour and ad hoc charters for automobile industry executives as well as specialist freight services.
Skyways was a major civilian participant in the Berlin Airlift and became one of Britain's foremost independent airlines during the 1950s and early 1960s.
Its main operation hubs included Langley (defunct), Dunsfold (now closed to commercial ops), Bovingdon (defunct), Stanstead, Heathrow and Gatwick.
After a buyout in 1961, Skways was incorporated into Euravia. It re-emerged in the 1970's with final closure in 1980

When looking for a 'virtual airline' to call my own, I went through a few designs (designs being my main thing over actually setting up a VA). With Skyways I think I have found the ideal vehicle - non scheduled air services suits my own casual playstyle.
I have created the following, which will be made available as both a pack and individually:
- Cessna 172 (standard) Trainer - retro 1950's livery
- Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX - retro (alternative) livery
- Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX - retro air cargo livery
- Cessna CJ4 - Retro 1950's Livery (modified)
- Cessna CJ4 - Revised VA livery
- Beechcraft Kingair 350i - retro 1950's livery
- Beechcraft Kingair 350i - revised VA livery
- Airbus A320 Neo - retro 1950's livery
- Airbus A320 Neo - Revised VA livery
- Airbus A320 Neo - vintage Air Cargo livery
Simply unzip the livery folder and drag it into your community folder. I have not tested this livery any third party mods or add on managers so I have no idea if these affect it. All feedback and comments are welcome.
NB - This is avaliable exclusively through flightsim.to (and maybe the megapack)... copyrights and tags are included in the files so please do not uppload to other sites without Smeary's agreement.
