Nice!

[+paulopanz 2,876]

What'ld need:

 

- a good Nose Number list for Indian Sea Hawks (Known: 074;077)

 

- some help in Sea Hawk 50, 100, 101 FM tweaking

 

- some good references about HMS Centaur / Hermes I'm going to make for their Supermarine Scimitars (just repainted and revamped)

 

- a ship expert to tweak data.inis of the new carriers made from existing very good Hinch's ones as Colossus, Majestic and Centaur classes were quite similar

 

 

So PM me, please.

From what I have come to know from Retd Vice Admiral Pasricha, who flew Sea Hawsk off the INS Vikrant, those numbers were not given by the Navy. Whichever airframes had those numbers(074, 077 etc), they were all Ex-Royal Navy sea hawks refurbished for the Indian Navy. I will look into his book and PM you the list.

Picked it up on ebay a few weeks ago. Apart from too many pages on the Spitfire it's a good read.
