In 1961 Euravia was born, based in the Luton. This company became Britannia, the worlds largest holiday tour operator of the time - operating from London Gatwick, London Stansted, London Luton, Cardiff, Bristol, East Midlands, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. . In 2000 it became a part of the Thompson group - eventually becoming TUI, before being retired in 2014.
This livery celebrates what would be the airlines 60th birthday. In itself, it is fan art... a concept that was designed and posted in reddit about 4 years ago. Cool design but, sadly, not realised. However, this lends well to a celebration of the company - with a small 'SmearyGrain' embelishment or two: the anniversary is marked with all of the companies logo's. If you are desperate for a *real* retro design please do request it...
Thanks to all those who requested this, especially Dave Hudson for the initial request... and also to 'insertcommonusername' for the original design work (yeah - that is his reddit tag... mind you, should I comment on having a silly name??)
And if you want a livery made - and you can describe it or provide images - head over to the 'Requests' part of flightsim and make the request. Others may join you and - if it is interesting or reall cool, I may pick it up and see what I can do.
Let me know what you think and if you like it then check out the rest of my sketchings: https://flightsim.to/profile/SmearyGrain
As with all drag and drop packs, extract the file and drag the colour folder into your community file.

Unfortunately I have not been able to get this livery to work, will not show up in 'Liveries'. I use MSFS Add Ons and your other liveries are working. Any suggestions?
There must be some quirk with my system. All I can think of is the use of hyphens instead of underscore in the file names.
Update: The Brit60 livery shows up in content manager. But there is a message under Dependencies 'Your Livery Name - required version Version Number Not installed' is required to run properly.
In content manager the livery shows up with an error in Dependencies. 'The minimum game version is 1.7.12 The following content is required for this item to run properly: YOUR LIVERY NAME - required version 1.1' then in red text 'Not installed'.
