      The RAF's first bomber, the Canberra, had a career spanning over 51 years on the front lines. Chief designer W. Petter had just joined the design team at English Electric when work began on the Canberra. He changed the swept wings of the original design to a more unconventional design with the engines part way out on, and embedded in, the wing. The end sections of the wings were broad and square, and two powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engines completed the design. The crew of two sat side-by-side in a pressurized cabin. With good fuel economy, and excellent maneuverability at all altitudes, the EE.A1 was an instant success.
       
      The prototype was first flown on May 13, 1949, and was problem-free. The first four prototypes were designated the Canberra B.MK 1, and were intended for use with a radar-assisted bomb aiming system. A delay in this system led to the production of a day bomber prototype, the Canberra B.MK 2, and the first operational aircraft were delivered on May 25, 1951.
       
      Around 410 B.mk2s were built for the RAF - some saw action in the 1956 Suez crisis.

    4. B-57C Pakistan Air Force

      By MigBuster

      Canberra B-57C for the "Strike Fighters 2" Series
      by Ahmed Junaid Raza
       
       
      Pakistan was the only real foreign user of the B-57, with 24 B-57Bs and two B-57Cs passed on in 1959 under the US Military Assistance Program. From 1963, they were fitted with the RB-1A "Georgia Peach" all-weather bombing system, giving these machines a longer nose. Some of the Pakistani B-57Bs were also modified to allow them to carry four external tanks, permitting them to conduct strikes deep inside India.
       
      Pakistani B-57Bs performed strikes during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War, flying 167 sorties, with three lost in combat, but as mentioned destroying three IAF Canberras on the ground. They also saw combat in the brief 1971 Indo-Pakistan War, with reports of four or five lost in combat. The Pakistani B-57s remained in service well into the 1980s, being the last of the breed flying in military colors.

    7. B-57G Tropic Moon III

      By MigBuster

      Canberra B-57G for "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam"
      by Ahmed Junaid Raza
       
      New Avionics and TV by MiGBuster
      USAF2 Tropic Moon skin by MiGBuster
       
      READ the instructions - includes how to use the TV/FLIR etc
       
       
       
       
       
      16 B-57Bs were converted to B-57G standard and used in Vietnam from 1970 to 1972
      flying from Tailand for the Tropic Moon III project, and was a pioneer in laser
      guided technology. The B-57G had built in sensors such as a low light TV system,
      FLIR, and a laser giudance system. This enabled it to carry 4 x 500lb Laser guided
      bombs and self designate targets for them. The 20mm wing cannons were deleted due
      to the weight of the LGBs. 4 bombs were also carried in the bomb bay (unconfirmed).
      Its mission was to hunt trucks over the notorious Ho Chi Minh Trail.

    8. RB-57A Canberra

      By MigBuster

      Martin RB-57A Canberra for the "Strike Fighters 2" Series
      by Ahmed Junaid Raza
       
      B.2 Cockpit with bombardier view by Daniel "Kessselbrut" Himmel
       
      Original skin and ini work by pappychksix
       
      Updated for SF2 by MiGBuster (July 2009)
       
       
      The USAF ordered English Electric Canberras as a need to fill a mission gap - however the order could not be fulfilled in the UK so Martin was able to license build Canberras under the B-57 designation.
      The B-57A looks similar to the Canberra B mk2 however there were actually many differences - not least the the Wright J65 engines. Due to the bubble canopy, targetting the guns was found to be very difficult, and so the canopy and nose were totally redesigned into what became the B-57B.
       
      The RB-57A was the first real production model of the B-57 with around 67 being built for a photo recon role. They served from 1954 and were withdrawn in the early 1970s. 24 RB-57As were also converted to EB-57As.

      The Grumman Tiger was procured in the late 1950s as a hedge against any failure or delay in the F-8 Crusader program. When the Crusader proved a great success, the Tiger became redundant and was quickly phased out of service. It was an agile aircraft and considered to be easy to fly, a factor which led to its adoption by the Blue Angels.

      HMCS Bonaventure (CVL22)
      -------------------------
       
       
      1957 to 1960s era style deck
       
       
      HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22) was a Majestic class aircraft carrier. She served in the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Forces Maritime Command from 1957 to 1970 and was the third and the last aircraft carrier to serve Canada. The ship was laid down for the British Royal Navy as HMS Powerful in November 1943. At the end of World War II, work on the ship was suspended in 1946. At the time of purchase, it was decided to incorporate new aircraft carrier technologies into the design. Bonaventure never saw action during her career having only peripheral, non-combat roles. However, she was involved in major NATO fleet-at-sea patrol during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    24. SF2 Republic F-105F/EF-105F Thunderchief Pak by ArmorDave

      By Wrench

      SF2 Republic F-105F/EF-105F Thunderchief Pak by ArmorDave
       
      = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *Note: the destroyed model referenced herein 'looks' for the stock destroyed F-105D lod. So, at
      the very least you MUST have either SF2E, or SF2V to gain access to said destroyed model. Hence the Full 4/5 Merged reccomendation*
       
      Some major upgrades to ArmorDave F-105F Thunderchiefs, bring them more in line with SF2 at the
      Full-5 Merged/Latest Patch level, as of July 2012.
      This mod is desinged to REPLACE any eariler SF2 update/upgrade versions of AD's aircraft that
      may be availalbe.
       
      The package contains 2 complete aircraft:
       
      F-105F (standard NM finish)
      EF-105F Wild Weasel II (SEA camo)
       
      Skins remain in bmp format (as they're not excpetionally large in size), and Decal
      Randomization is TRUE. Damage textures are the older tga versions.
       
      Both data inis have all new FM parameters, loadouts have been 'adjusted' for Game usage (and
      may not reflect Real World situations, but =WILL= reflect Game World situations). New engine
      sound, and some other small tweeks. New SF2-style Hangar screens are included.
      No weapons are included, other than the drop tanks, as I've referenced all stock 3W items.
      See the "Notes" section for more info on the changes.
       
      When 'in game', you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Drop-Down Menu
       
      F-105F Thunderchief (AD)
      EF-105F Thunderchief
       
      Although the F-105F as used in the Wild Weasel configuraion never actually "officially"
      recieved the "EF" moniker, I've done so here to diferentiate it from the standard or garden
      variety F model.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -
      READ- them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions,
      illuminations and so forth. And notes about any SF2V campaign that may use this aircraft; some
      slight editing of the campaign ini may be necessary due to the 'name change'.
      A full listing of credits, as always, is below the Install Instructions.
       
      Good Hunting!

    25. SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9C, 411 Squadron Skin Pak

      By Wrench

      SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9C, 411 Squadron Skin Pak
       
      -- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
       
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
      **SF2:E Expansion Pak 2 REQUIRED to have the Spitfire 9c**
       
      A reskinning of the stock 3W Spit 9C to 411 "City of York" Squadron RCAF during WW2 in Western Europe.
      Skins remain in their 'lorez' 512 size, and are still in bmp format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. All marking on the aircraft, excepting the Sky fuselage band are decals. This will make it exceptionally easy for skinners to create other RAF squadrons of this time period.
       
      Included are modified data and loadout inis. See 'changes' in the Notes section for full listing. And, for you viewing pleasure, brand NEW Hangar and Loading screens. The assumption (oh! that word!!) is being made that you've already made the aircraft player flyable, so no cockpit bits are included. Neither is my "One Click Restore Main Ini" (patent pending).
       
      The canopy has been activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
      No weapons or pilot figures are included; you should have them already.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
       
      Happy Landings!!
