Thanks AGAS 5. Your new RAAF skins for the ALPHA B-24s will get a lot of use in my virtual skies! Cosmopolitan Tocumwal....who'd have thought it.

Tocumwal...aka McIntyre Field. Once the largest bomber base in the Southern Hemisphere.

Thanks guys :jump:

wrt RAAF Tocumwal (McIntyre Field).... I have it and a 'few others' on my hd that I started a long time ago.....but got rudely interrupted with real life issues... :173go1:

They all need elevation readjustments with the addition of Rumba's fine work and some need finishing off with trees etc...

Marvellous repaints, Pete!

Just like all the other you uploaded recently, if the McIntyre scenery is only half as good as your aircraft skins...


I CAN'T WAIT TO DOWNLOAD IT!

Hi,

For anyone who's interested, here's some links to background historic information on this important WWII airfield:-

The place was built for the Americans & named after Captain Patrick W mcIntyre; a WWII air ace tragically killed in a mysterious air crash out of Archerfield QLD 5th June 1942. He was from Michigan:-

The actual base details:-

I have spent the past seven years researching the old air base & RAAF #5 hospital.
If you get the chance to visit, go to the information centre & join one of bob Brown's talks, & have a look through the THAM museum there.

kind regards,
Noel Brettoner
