View File Hawker Hunter FGA.9 - RAF Far East Air Force Hawker Hunter FGA.9 - RAF Far East Air Force This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to place it in service with the RAF's Far East Air Force in the 1961-1970 timeline. That really did happen but not with the Hunter wearing 'SEAC' national markings! New decals are included including 26 new tail serials and 26 new underwing serials. BACKSTORY The growing threat to Thailand, Cambodia and South Vietnam from nearby Communist states saw the deployment of the Hawker Hunter FGA.9's of No. 20 Squadron to the Far East Air Force in September 1961 followed by No.28 Squadron in July 1962. The Borneo Confrontation of 1963 saw this ground-attack wing deployed to Kuching and Labuan to commence offensive operations against Indonesian forces seeking to infiltrate across the Malaysia/Indonesia border on the island of Borneo. The Commander of the Far East Air Force, Air Marshal Sir Hector McGregor, ordered the re-introduction of the wartime 'SEAC' markings to avoid any potential confusion with the Indonesian Air Force's red and white national markings. Both squadrons were successful in helping to repel the border incursions by the Indonesians, despite the difficult terrain, and stayed in theatre until the Borneo Confrontation was declared over in August 1966 eventually departing in January 1967 when No.28 Squadron was disbanded and No.20 Squadron returned to Tengah. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9S folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9S folder into your Decals folder. It goes without saying that you'll need the Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 from 'Wings Over Europe' for this to work but if you have 'Wings Over Israel' you can use a substitute 'stock' cockpit as the aircraft LOD's are in that game. The folder designation FGA.9S is just to avoid conflict with the stock FGA.9 aircraft in 'Wings Over Europe'. CREDITS Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 1 - 18/03/18 Submitter Spinners Submitted 03/18/2018 Category Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's  

View File Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1 This is a 'what if' B-52K in service with Royal Air Force South East Asia Command with markings for No.9 Squadron. I've already done this for SF2 so thought I'd make it available for SF1 with a little change of decals. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the B-52K into your Decals folder. As this is a non-flyable I've included a makeshift cockpit which works best with cockpit toggle off as it leaves you with a fairly decent bombsight. CREDITS Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 1 - 10/03/18 Submitter Spinners Submitted 03/10/2018 Category Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's  

Boeing Stratofortress B.1 - No.9 Squadron, Royal Air Force, South East Asia Command, 1966

View File Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the stock (non-flyable) Third Wire B-52K to give a fictional and flyable B-52K Stratofortress B.1 in service with No.9 Squadron attached to RAF South East Asia Command. Also included are fictional 'Flail' and 'Flambard' bombs with Flail being especially useful against soft-skin targets (or fuel tanks if you get tasked against these in Strike missions) and Flambard being a particularly nasty incendiary bomb. You can, of course, convert it to use nukes but bombing from 12,000m with conventional ordnance is a real challenge but great fun. As we don't have a proper B-52 pit you'll have to make do with the one supplied or go your own way and I mainly prefer to fly this one with cockpit toggle off. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the FLAIL and FLAMBARD folders into your weapons folder. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - 27/05/2020 Version 1 - 02/06/2011 Submitter Spinners Submitted 06/02/2011 Category What If Hangar

INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the MeteorF8A folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the MeteorF8A folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

View File Thunderstreak FGA.2 - RAF SEAC Republic Aviation Thunderstreak FGA.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1 This is a 'what if' Thunderstreak FGA.2 with markings for No.31 squadron in a SEA Camo by whiteknight06604. Regarding the Thunderstreak in RAF service then there is no backstory but perhaps the UK needed some muscle when the Supermarine Swift started going pear-shaped! INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the THUNDERSTREAKFGA2 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the THUNDERSTREAKFGA2 folder into your main Decals folder. Please note that I've simplified things by using the stock F-105 tanks. CREDITS Special thanks to the guys listed below - great work and especially the flight model! Thanks to whiteknight06604 for the SEA Camo for his Greek F-84F. Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim. And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - 05/03/18 Submitter Spinners Submitted 07/27/2008 Category Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's
