Potez 631 skin pack
By LloydNB in French Origin
These are a repaint of the original files to represent four of the squadrons operating the P631 in France 1940 - two night fighters and from the French Navy.
I have tried to match the underwing codes with the aircraft numbers. New Hangar and loading screens, user list and data file included.
This is not a full install. Please download and install the original version first. You'll get to keep Charles' excellent original textures.

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.

Breguet XIX_Hellas
By LloydNB in First Eagles - Golden Era - Allied Skins
2 Mira
Royal Hellenic Air Force
1940
The Breguet 19A2B2 served in the Royal Hellenic Air Force from 1925 to 1940. Initially they carried the names of Greek cities and island but were later given code numbers.
53 aircraft were purchased, including 12 from Yugoslavia in 1935, but only 18 were still airworthy by the start of the Greco-Italian War. By this stage it filled an observation/army cooperation role with 1 Observation Mira, under I Corp Command, based at Perigiali, near Corinth and with 2 Observation Mira under II Corps command, based at Larissa and Kozani.
On 4 November 1940, a Breguet from 2 Mira located the attacking 3rd Julia Alpine Division in a mountain pass near Metsovo. Three more Breguets sent to bomb the Italian division were in turn attacked by three Fiat CR.42 fighters. A Breguet was shot down, one crash-landed and the third returned to base, though badly shot up.
I've include both the bmp files and the layered psp files for those of you who want to improve on the skin or make your own.

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.

SF2 WW2 SAAF Hurricane Skins, East Africa
1 SAAF Squadron - Hurricane MKIA
3 SAAF Squadron - Hurricane MkIA (Trop)
These skins are for Raven's excellent Hurricane MkI and MkIa (Trop). Most of the hard work on these skins is down to him - I've just played around with the panel lines and added some extra decals.
SAAF squadrons in East Africa used a number of different aircraft over the campaign so I've decided to set these around January 1941 when:
- 3 SAAF Squadron was Hurricanes only and
- 1 SAAF Squadron was a mix of the original MkIs supplied early in the war, loaned MkIa(Trops) from 3 SAAF and Gladiators.
Anyone who would like the layered files to play with should drop me a line and I'll convert them to your format of choice - anything to encourage more people to get into skinning.
Regards
Lloyd

Belgian Hurricane Mk1
By LloydNB in Other Origin
Hurricane Mk1 - Belgium 1940
This skin is for Ravens' Hurricane Mk1. Not much has been changed from the original template so most of the credit for this skin must go tho him.
********************************
In an attempt to modernise their fighter force the Belgians ordered 20 Hurricanes and obtained a licence to build a further 80 of which only one (H42) was delivered to the air force.
It seems only 11 Hurricanes were serviceable at the outbreak of hostilities. These were all based at Schaffen as part of 2/I/2 Ae (No. 2 Squadron of No. 1 Group of No. 2 Air Regiment). 8 Hurricanes were lost at Schaffen to the Luftwaffe attack on 10 May 1940.

Potez 633 B2 Grec
By LloydNB in French Air Force
Potez 633 B2 Grec
The supply agreement for 24, twin-engine Potez 633 B2 Grec bombers, was signed in January 1938 with the delivery deadline expiring in 1 year. Finally 13 airplanes were delivered but one of them was destroyed with French crew at Tanagra Air Base on the delivery flight. The remaining 11 airplanes were confiscated by the French upon the break of the war.
The Greek Potez 633 had bombing configuration, except one that was delivered with photographic equipment. Hydraulic variable-paced propellers, F.R. radio, periscopic Bronzavia type bombing sight, OPL 36 fixed gunner sight, GPU rails for 4 or 2 bombs were among their equipment.
They took part in the operations in 1940 - 1941, with the 31st Bombing Squadron, until their final immobilization due to the lack of spare parts.

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.

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.

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).
Enjoy!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

By LloydNB in Multi Engined Bomber, Transport, Light Attack and Trainer Skins
Hawker Fury F.Mk.1

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.

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.
