This was a case where the Aeroclassics Tridents were announced on certain retailers websites far in advance of their release. So much so that Gemini Jets upstaged them and suddenly released all their Tridents in secret ahead of the Aeroclassics releases, forcing AC to cancel many of them. A great pity that neither made an early Trident 1C and both companies released a BEA red square Trident 2E with the same reg - G-AVFB. I would have loved one of them to be a 1C with a G-ARP. reg. Anyway, I bought them all, from both AC and GJ and actually prefer the GJ mould as the nose appears too pointed on the AC version.However, GJ screwed up all the BEA Speedjack and Iraqi Airways liveries by printing the cheatlines too high on one side
