It certainly is Cees! The FS2004 model by Steve Beeny was very nice, but due to the mirrored wing textures not usable to create Dutch repaints.
Looking forward to this one.

That is very good news indeed! I have been missing a good FSX model of this significant early British naval jet fighter. In my view these early jets have a lot more charm than the more polished super fighters of later decades.
But I also hope that Rob has not given up on the Barracuda!

Yes, very pleasant news indeed!
One of the most elegant FAA aircraft from that period.

Yeah baby!
Wing folding animation on the Barracuda will be a project all by itself. I still haven't been able to figure it out.
That's good to hear Rob :-) It will be quite a sight with the wings folded :-)
Among the Barracudas few successes were the attacks on Tirpitz up in Northern Norway. Even if they were not mortal to the big ship, they were brilliantly executed by the FAA and was part in removing the threat to the convoy's. The effort to sink the Tirpitz with the Norwegian resistance providing "close target recce" and the midget submarine attacks, FAA attacks and the final and mortal Lancaster raids have become important parts of Norway's war history.

The Seahawk (along with the Hunter and Spitfire) were at the top of the list for the most beautiful aircraft. It also goes to the top of my most anticipated model!
Many thanks, Bill
The Supermarine 508 was an elegant looking aircraft in my opinion, and no, I'm certainly not asking Rob to make one.
I don't think it went into service, but there is some footage of trials aboard Eagle on You Tube which look impressive. No catapult, but it's airborne well before the end of the deck.
Den.
Indeed. It hardly seems possible that a company like Supermarine could produce the 508 (later to become the Scimitar) AND the Attacker

Sure it's al good until you have to deal with Rob's BS link he gives ya. What's up with that crap??
The link worked fine for me, I had more bother with a scenery download recently but a less busy time sorted that. Sometimes the FaceTwit crowd clog the bandwidth.

I do agree with what’s been said about the download problems with “sendspace” and wont use it again.
I wanted to try it out as space on my website, although not critical, will run out eventually.
I usually put a download link to my models on my site, and will do in future, but I get very little feedback.
Although the sendspace link has involved me in a lot of work answering each email, I have had some fantastic
feedback, had some really interesting comments and information I would not have otherwise received.
So....sorry about the link, normal service will be resumed.
No need for apologies Rob. A wise lesson for us however. Next time I will provide some feedback.
Cheers,
Huub
Yes, Stefano, you are right. My apologies to you, Rob and anyone else I may of offended with my off the cuff comments. May of had a few too many "pops" and became frustrated with the link which Rob so graciously provided me. Turns out my security settings were flagging the link as high risk and wouldn't let me download. After disabling the filter temporarily I was finally able to download the Scimitar. Have not had a chance to add it to the sim yet but if it's anything like Rob's other AC I'm sure it will be top shelf.
Looking at Rob's site... he's posted a picture of the Sea Hawk in SIM and it is looking stunning. Really looking forward to this.
