What a wonderful thread!
I've spent the last couple of days enjoying reading all your memories of the lovely Trident.
petermcleland you have reminded me what a brilliant "add-on" David Maltby's Trident is for FS2004 and FSX. I've downloaded it again and installed it in FSX.
No "real" flying for me this week due to the holidays so it's been great fun hand-flying some foggy approaches using the Trident and ActiveSky Evolution weather. Nice to see you've retired to a beautiful part of the countryside. We used to have a cottage in Totnes so have spent many a happy time in that part of the South Hams.
One question regarding the Flight Sim version of the Trident which I see you provided information on. Have you noticed much difference in the handling qualities between the Trident 2 and 3 versions? From reading this thread it sounds like the T3 was somewhat more challenging on take-off in "hot and high" conditions?
