[Fictional] BAC Lightning F.54 - Marineflieger

---

BAC Lightning F.54 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2)

This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.53 to give a fictional Lightning F.54 in service with the Marineflieger (the naval air arm of the Bundesmarine or West German Navy) with markings for Marineflieger MFG 1 and Marineflieger MFG 2.

You will need Expansion Pack 2.

BACKSTORY

The first rumours of an alleged bribery scandal surrounding the purchase of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter by the West German Government coincided with the ferociously high attrition rate of the Starfighter in Luftwaffe and Marineflieger service. With the end of Lightning production on the near horizon BAC submitted a brochure to the Bonn Government and Marineflieger Officials for a proposed multi-role Lightning based on the F.53 and this proposal was accepted leading to a modest production order for 60 Lightning F.54's which entered service 
in late 1968 with MFG1 and MFG2 before being retired in 1987.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Decals folder.

3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AS-30 folder into your main Weapons folder.

That's it! 

CREDITS

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
