Hawker Sea Fury FB.51, MLD 860 Sqn

---

Hello all,

 

Again a release of a Dutch paint job, I have used a skin by Tim Canada.

The Hawker flew with the Dutch for a while. The aircraft of 860 Sqn

were recognisable by their orange spinner and were stationed on

the aircraft carrier HMS Karel Doorman for a while.

The number 6 stands for the letter F, while this is the 6th letter

in the alphabet (! Yep, some creative thinking there) and it stands

for fighter or fighter-bomber. Other aircraft were stencilled with

the number 10, being the 10th letter (J meaning "jager" meaning fighter)

but I think these were all from 3 Sqn recognisable by a white spinner.

These were land based at naval airbase Valkenburg (close to Katwijk).

For now, enjoy!

 

 

PS: Thanks for letting me alter your fantastic skin, Tim Canada!
