I thought you guys might be interested to see the new aircraft that will be made available to British Airways :) The Merlin is a fantastic helicopter and the obvious progression into our full fleet. Let us know what you think!

I was thinking last week that the Merlin would be a good candidate and would look great. So I'm pleased this has been brought to fruition. 

Is that the Landor livery?  (Looking at this via my iPhone)

Imagine both the Huron & merlins parked, taxiing, will look awsome.

Formation fly by at major events (HM queens birthday, Remeberence, etc...) oh the fun to be Had.

My only real concern is the would be Hijacking events.... Oh the horror!

Which flight model are you using, and are you using keyboard and mouse? If so I can imagine how difficult it would be. 

However if you're on the island and need some pointers on advanced then let me know; happy to advise.

I have applied to be a BA Pilot, and I think this saves me the hassle of getting the Helicopter DLC For ARMA 3! Although I will still probably get it 

 
An m900 would be a great addition to BA

 
This looks the tits. Only had good experiences with BA so far. Capt. Castro is one hell of a pilot @killerabbit

I use advance flight model with stress damage enabled, my joystick is a Saitek X52 Pro and I've just ordered a new head tracker :)

The M-900 is on my to-do list but I was thinking of doing something else first.

That bit about what flight model was for @Delta but thanks for clarification.

however @killerabbitI too use advanced and with Hotas & Sytec Pedals and the usual Trackir.  Of all of it - TrackIR Changed my simming experience more than any other peripheral.

In which case I'm crazy scared how much over the next ten years VR will enhance my experience.

Looks good, any chance of getting a design on the tail like this has?

Would look pretty smooth.

nope i dont use it but it can look cooler

anytime lad 
So are you flying for BA already? 

Or are you party to testing? 

Having heard nothing eithrway - and to see this; has left it a bit ambiguous with me. 

Any clarity would be gratefully received. 

Kind regards

Testing or flying ... Or both... Sorry matey was still a touch ambiguous. 

Am I therefore right to assume if I've heard nothing either way, that it's a no? 

Peace

You can pm me if you don't wish it to be openly discussed.
