Hawker Fury MkII - SAAF
By LloydNB in SF1 DAT Mods
Hawker Fury MkII
SAAF No.1 Squadron
For use with the A-Team Fury MkII. Some elements of Charles' original skin have been retained.
This is the latest skin in my tribute to the SAAF in East Africa.
The Hawker Fury was still in service with the South African Air Force at the start of WWII. Due to aircraft shortages, the Fury used in mixed squadrons during 1940 in East Africa.

Blackburn Baffin - RNZAF
By LloydNB in British Commonwealth
Blackburn Baffin
2 GR (Wellington) Squadron. RNZAF (1938-1941)
For the Baffin by SkippyBing (Philip Chandler), which is available at Avsim.
New Zealand received 29 Blackburn Baffins during 1937/38. Most were converted Ripon MkIIs that had seen long service with the FAA. A handful were built as Baffins and served in the Middle East.
Arranged into 3 squadrons and assigned to training duties, they were pressed into active service (anti-submarine patrols) at the start of hostilities. The entire contingent was replaced by Hudsons and reduced to scrap in 1941.
The last remaining example of the type (a Ripon converted to a radial engine) is in Finland.

Bloch 210

Bloch MB-210
GB 1, 51 Escadille
Just copy the GB1-51 folder into your MB210 installation happy flying.
There are issues with this skin that have to do with how the bmp file is mapped. That's why I've only done one aircraft out of the 4 that saw active service during the Battle of France.
FireFox has amended the aircraft but needs help to convert it to work in the game. Volunteers???

Chinese Nationalist Hawk 75A-5
By LloydNB in USAAC/USAAF
Curtiss-Wright Hawk 75Q (Hawk 75A-5)
Chinese Nationalist air force, Kumning 1942.
I've included separate skins for aircraft "2" and "4". As far as I'm aware these were the only two examples flown by the Chinese Nationalist forces. A factory was built to produce more but this was relocated to Burma before a single aircraft was produced.

DH89A - Kenyan Auxiliary Air Unit, East Africa
By LloydNB in SF1 DAT Mods
DH.89A Dragon Rapide/Dominie
Kenyan Auxiliary Air Unit
The Dragon Rapide was a common short-haul airliner before the War. With the beginning of hostilities they were pressed into service and redesignated the Dominie. Most saw service as transports (including air ambulances) and in training roles.
This particular aircraft (civilian registration VP-KCR) was pressed into service with the Kenyan Auxiliary Air Unit - a unit created in 1940 from pilots from the Aero Club of East Africa, near Nairobi. The unit performed transport, communications and reconnaissance flights, including during the East Africa campaign in 1941.

Fury F.Mk.1 - Royal Iraqi AF 1948
By LloydNB in Multi Engined Bomber, Transport, Light Attack and Trainer Skins
Hawker Fury F.Mk.1
7 Squadron, Royal Iraqi Air Force
For Simon's Sea Fury - available from Capun's site.
The RIrAF acquired a total of 38 F.Mk.1s, and four two-seaters. Aside from the No.7 Sqn, the No.1 Sqn was later also re-equipped with them.
A big thanks to palopanz for the numbering. I never have the patience to do 38 sets.

Blackburn Ripon (Finland)
By LloydNB in British Commonwealth
BLACKBURN Ripon
A further use for SkippyBing's excellent Blackburn Baffin.
The Blackburn Ripon was a pre-war carrier-borne torpedo-bomber and reconaissance aircraft, a development of the Swift, Dart and Velos family. The Ripon was a conventional biplane which was first flown in 1928. In total 123 were built and there were in addition 25 Blackburn Ripon II F: a Finnish assembled Ripon. Based on 1 production Ripon acquired from Great Britain in 1928, 25 were subsequently assembled in Finland under licence in 1931-34. The Finns used a number of different engines with the Ripon in service until 1944.
The only preserved Blackburn Ripon (RI-140), has an Armstrong-Siddely Panther radial engine. It is stored in Päijänne Tavastia Aviation Museum in Asikkala, Finland
Performance
* Maximum speed: 179 km/h
* Range: 660 km
* Service ceiling: 3,050 m
* climb to 6,500 ft: 15 min 30 sec
Armament
* Guns: 1 × fixed, forward firing .303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine gun and 1 × .303 in (7.7 mm) Lewis gun in rear cockpit.
* Bombs: Either 1 × 18 in (457 mm) torpedo or up to 3 ×240 kg or 6 × 104 kg bombs.

POTEZ 633 B2 Royal Romanian Air Force
By LloydNB in HE-111/JU-88 and Other Twin Engine Aircraft
Potez 633 B2
Royal Romanian Air Force
Contracts for two batches of 20 Potez 633 B2s were issued by the Romanian government and the first order was delivered in 1939. A new bomber group was set up for the new aircraft, Group 2, which included the 74th and 75th Squadrons.
On June 21 1941, Group 2 was placed under alert and at 20:00 Romania entered the war alongside Nazi Germany. In September 1941 another nine 633s from the Armee de l'Air d'Armistice were delivered. In September 1942 the 633s were operating over the Don and Stalingrad and were split between:
- 1st Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron
- 3rd Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron
- 74th Light bomber Squadron
By spring 1943 the remaining 633s were withdrawn from combat and delivered to 1st Fighter wing for night flying instruction.

Breguet 693 - France 1940
By LloydNB in French Air Force
GBA I/51 France 1940
Breguet BR-693 (13 aircraft)
The Breguet 693 was a light bomber that usually carried 8 50kg bombs.
When they were delivered, the Breguets were popular with their crews, although the unreliable engines in the Br-691 caused headaches. Only in March 1940 were the first combat-worthy Br-693s delivered, and there were now five squadrons to equip: GBA I/51, GBA II/51, GBA I/54, GBA II/54, and GBA II/35, with a theoretical complement of 13 aircraft each.
It showed promise in its role and all Breguet variants (691,693 and 695) flew 500 sorties against the German invasion. 79 Br-693s were lost in action.
It seems most Br-693s went into service without underwing codes. While there are plenty of pictures of this aircraft in Vichy colours, it didn't serve outside metropolitan France and didn't see combat after the Armistice.
Amended DATA and LOADOUT files are included.

Potez 633 - France 1940
By LloydNB in French Air Force
GBA I/51 France 1940
Potez 633 B2 (5 aircraft)
In 1938 France ordered 449 Potez 633s but in May that year it was decided that all light bombers must have a crew of 3, so the aircraft was developed for export only. A bomb-bay filled the space between the plot and gunner in which the bombs were hung vertically.
35 aircraft (4 from a Chinese order, 20 from a Romanian order and 11 from a Greek order) were allocated to various squadrons in 1939-40 to fill gaps and to help transition pilots into the Breguet 693. These aircraft have "C", "G" and "R" in their serial numbers.
There were 20 aircraft in combat units (GBA I/51, II/51, I/54 and II/54) when the Germans invaded on 10 May 1940. GBA II/35 received the Potez 633 later that month. Only Potez 633s of II/51 saw combat, losing 5 aircraft.
A further aircraft, destined for China, got as far as French Indochina before being requisitioned into the Vichy Air Force for the defence of the colony.
Amended DATA and LOADOUT files are included.

Potez 633 - Indochina
By LloydNB in French Air Force
Potez Pz-633. Tonkin, French Indochina
During World War II, Thailand took the opportunity of French weaknesses to reclaim previously lost territories in 1904 and 1907, resulting in the French-Thai War between October 1940 and 9 May 1941.
This single Pz-633 flew recon missions in Indochina against the Thais.

Hudson - RNZAF
By LloydNB in British Commonwealth
Lockheed Hudson Mk III.
No. 2 Squadron, RNZAF 1941
The Lockheed Hudson served with the RNZAF from 1941 until the end of WWII, first in the general reconnaissance and bomber role and later as a transport aircraft. At the start of 1940 the RNZAF was still operating the Vickers Vincent biplane, but the British government agreed to provide New Zealand with eighteen Hudsons (March 1940). By the end of 1941 this number had been increased to thirty-six, which were used to equip Nos.1, 2 and 4 Squadrons. Eventually the RNZAF would receive 101 Hudsons (54 Mk.IIIs, 37 Mk.IIIAs, 6 Mk.Vs and 4 Mk.VIs).

Belgian Gladiator MkI
By LloydNB in French Air Force
Gladiator MkI
1ère Escardrille de Chasse ("La Comète")/Ième Group/No.2 Air Regiment (Fighter)
********For Cocas' terrific Gladiator MkII********
Belgium had ordered 22 Gladiator Is during the summer of 1937. 15 aircraft were serviceable on 10 May 1940. Five were not in a flyable condition, 2 were lost prior to accidents prior to the commencement of hostilities.
I've included only 14 numbers in the pact as the 15th aircraft (no. 18) belonged to the commanding General and was not armed. While the exact serial numbers of all the active aircraft are not known, I have included the numbers of all the aircraft which were recorded as combat losses.
La Comète were based at Schaffen, just north of Diest. The base was attacked at 04:32hrs on 10 May 1940 with the loss of 3 Gladiators and 9 of the 11 Hurricane MkIs stationed there.

IV.KGzbV 1, 1940
By LloydNB in SF1 DAT Mods
Ju-52 "Tante Ju"
IV.KGzbV 1, 1940
A new skin for the A-Team Ju-52C. Only the exterior has been changed, the original A-Team interior is too good to play around with.
The devil sitting on a bomb emblem was used by IV.KGzbV 1 until 1943.
10 May 1940 (5.35- 6.00am) 13 Ju-52s of IV.KGzbV.1 miss their drop point and deposit 148 men of 3.FJR2 south-west of the airfied betwee 's-Gravenzande and Naaldwijk, Netherlands. One aircraft shot down.
10 May 1940 (5.35- 6.00am) 40 Ju-52s of IV.KGzbV.1 drop paratrooops of I./FJR2 on Ypenburg, Netherlands. One is shot down and the rest return to Loddenheide where 18 aircraft are declared unserviceable due to ground fire.

SF2 WW2 SAAF Fury - East Africa
By LloydNB in SF1 DAT Mods
Hawker Fury MkII
SAAF No.2 Squadron
For use with the A-Team Fury MkII. Some elements of Charles' original skin have been retained.
The Hawker Fury was still in service with the South African Air Force at the start of WWII. Due to aircraft shortages, the Fury was used in mixed squadrons during 1940 in East Africa. As it was too slow to catch the more modern Italian aircraft, the Fury was mainly used in the close support role.

Breguet XIX Republican pack
By LloydNB in First Eagles - Golden Era - Allied Skins
I have depicted three Republican squadrons: 22 Grupo, 23 Grupo and Alas Rojas (Red Wings).
I would have liked to assign squadrons (Escuadrilla) to the first two skins but it would have only been guesswork.
The Red Wings was a unit that was equipped with a range of aircraft including: nine Breguet XIXs; five Nieuport 52s; one Fokker F.VIIB; and one DH89 Dragon Rapide. It operated in the Aragonian front, hitting targets in Zaragoza, Huesca, Tardienta and Barbastro.
