I believe 1 Group retained the ventral turret far longer than other Groups. This Groups aircraft also carried a gas dtection patch as they had the role of delivering chemical weapons had the war got...

The RAF Museum has many of these drawings on microfiche with paper copies available at a reasonable cost. They may have the particular building plans you require.

1st TAD @ North Witham stripped a P-61 of guns and radar, fitted a plexiglass nose, seats and special radios and an Admiral and an Army general used it to relay action on the beaches direct to...
Great idea.
If it helps some years ago I did the attached Spitfire and Hurricane BoB database.

Whilst Pat and Frosty produced the custom masterpieces of individual airfields for ETO - each one taking untold hours of labour - I plodded along using generic copies to try and show more realistic...

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 3 Other Add-Ons - Vehicles

My apologies Joost
Should have made clear the provenance of the textures.
Still very much @ the learning stage with GMAX trying to keep mind focused on it's complexities so took the short cut...
Thanks for kind comments Clive. GMAX drives me crazy - fitting the texture ok to sides but ends of cylinders!!!
Hi Major
I think your tower is to Design 343/43 which replaced the earlier types I...
Dip in and out of forum when time allows.
Have RAF Bourn, Breighton & Elsham Wolds at various stages and have been trying GMAX to make some rather crude buildings as in the following shots.

Used the Harley WLA, or 45_Flathead for these 9th USAAF facility files without noticing this was an add-on not included in standard ETO Vehicles. For those that have the motor-bike...

There are 2 RAF seaplane bases in ETO 1.30, Pembroke Dock in South Wales and Mount Batten off Plymouth Sound both have Catalinas as static models replacing the Swordfish floatplanes of 1.20. In fact...
You should run the bdp zapper after any major update to remove current settings for a/c etc and allow new loadouts etc to apply.

In amongst all the above Jay put up the latest freeware update to the ETO series of add-ons for CFS3 which he is so generously hosting.
Feedback on ETO 1.30 is so far very positive and the ETO...
The RAF certainly did use US bombs. They were fitted with lugs for both US & RAF attachment methods. I believe twin for the former & single for the latter (but it could be the other way round). I...
Ford was a Naval Air Station (HMS Peregrine) during early BoB having been transferred in January 1939 with the job of training observers and navigators for the FAA. A variety of a/c were based there...

Uploading base a/c to your folder on the ftp now. Will load into cfs 3 to check that no pylons etc required.

Sorry to hear of your other problems - hope you can get some much deserved sleep now.
