Dans bits & bobs

[shaggy22]

I am so looking forward to these, Dan.

And it stirred my (ailing) memory: didn't the Army Air Corps have some Alouette IIs at one time - I believe the number was 17? Or is the memory playing tricks on me...

Yes they did, back in the 60s & 70s I believe. Although that said, I think the Army Air Corps Historic Flight had 1 around the 90s. I'll have a look into that

I think there were some in Cyprus well into the 80's?

UK Helicopter package will be uploaded very shortly, sorry for the delay. We were doing some work on the Falklands based aircraft.

In the meantime I also decided the SBAI Tu-160 needed some love, the model itself is really nice albeit with a few rough edges I reckon. So I added a whole bunch of panel lines to the paintkit & made it HD. They'll be uploaded shortly as well.

The UK helis & Russian Tu-160s have been uploaded to the hangar, please allow time for them to become available. There is 1 more UK package to come shortly enough, the Hawk T1 fleet as it is in the 90s to early 00s, then the UK stuff is done, well until the TriStars are done anyway.

& at last I can finally reveal what this big project I've been doing with Matt Soden finally is. It is the country of Egypt, & as it turns out a lot bigger & more awkward than I had bargained for to be honest. This is 99% done & all I need to do is put the packages all together now.

it's been a fantastic project but it hasn't been easy!

The RAF Hawk T1 package is complete, & uploaded to the hangar. The Egyptian stuff is still to be packaged up but should follow on tomorrow, all being well of course. 110 repaints for the Hawks, including the Reds, DERA, CAM, FRADU, 19 Sqn, 74 Sqn, 100 Sqn, 208 Sqn & a St Athan Station Flight aircraft. Flightplans are included for all of them done by Matt Soden, the Red Arrows flightplans are 8 week plans & are done by myself.

Don't have the EAF AH-64s flightplan'd for night ops, did some IRL joint ops (USN) with them and they were not allowed to fly at night in the Apache. On that note, we were told the F-16s had orange painted on due to the amount of mid-airs they had during training.

Quick note after EAF Helos install, all the Sea Kings model= showed "HC4 Junglie" verse the included "MK2B" model.

Damn, thanks for the heads up on that one. Easy fix for everyone thankfully though
