Rats - why won't anything work properly first time?
Wow and again wow.
Just a small observation; will there be an option with exhaust shrouds fitted?
Mike
Thanks Baz - that tanker'll be a lot harder to spot for marauding fighters...
I really hope I can do this one justice with somewhere to live. Looking forward to seeing the end result of your efforts!
Cheers,

So busy looking at the lovely new accessories I didn't notice the Lanc has put on a little weight around the middle ! Is that an H2S radome or a FN-64 ventral turret ? I don't see any guns, so I assume the former.
To provide people with a larger range of livery choices (repainters in particular) we are producing the Mk1 in early form with a side windows option, H2S radar dome option and exhaust flame guard option.
The model is designed so that when each livery is loaded, the model will appear with its correct combination of prop type, windows, pitot tube and exhaust flame guards. Many of these Lancasters, however, were constantly upgraded in the field so it is often impossible to depict one in "correct"trim as it all depends on the date of the depiction. We have nine liveries altogether.
Bazzar.
As the anniversary date of the dambusters raid was the 16th of may will you be releasing the Lancaster then and who will it be available through.
Cheers Chris
Hi Chris, we won't be ready for the 16th I'm afraid. The Lanc will be available through JF and the usual channels.
Hi Baz,
Sorry, you know I'm going to ask this one... Are the 9 liveries definitely confirmed yet?
Cheers,

Late in WWII 2 Lancasters came to Australia for a War Bonds drive, G George and Q Queenie. I remember seeing a photo of a Lancaster flying under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I believe that it was Q Queenie.
George ended up in the AWM at the end of the war but I believe Queenie was written off and scrapped after a crash olanding.
Will a Q Queenie texture be included in the final release model?
Cheers

"Some people might say that freedom is being alone in the bush with the only sounds being the murmurs from the birds ... but I believe freedom is at 5000 feet with no other sound than the engine roaring."- William Hutchison, a young man taken from us far too young (16).
One of the advantages of P3D is the ability to click items in exterior view. So we have included the release pull just ahead of the starboard tailplane leading edge which will remove the cover from the dinghy stowage.
Also, we have now completed the interior lighting which really brings an evocative atmosphere to the various stations.
Livery list:
LM739 HW-Z "Grog's the shot"
W4783 AR-G "G for George"
WX622 JO-D "D for Digger"
W4118 ZN-Y " Admiral Prune"
NE181 JN-M "Captain's Fancy"
WE669 ZN-O "O for Oboe"
EE139 BQ-B "Phantom of the Rhur"
R5868 PO-S "S for Sugar"
PA474 KC-A "Thumper MkIII"
Looking very nice indeed, Baz!
Extrapolating from Flintham/Thomas "Combat Codes" and Jefford "RAF Squadrons", this is who used those codes on Lancasters and where:
JN: 75Sq; Mepal, Spilsby
HW: 100Sq; Waltham
ZN: 106Sq; Coningsby, Syerston, Metheringham
AR: 460Sq; Breighton, Binbrook
JO: 463Sq; Wallington, Skellingthorpe
PO: 467Sq; Scampton, Bottesford, Waddington, Metheringham (they got around a bit, didn't they?)
BQ: 550Sq; Waltham, North Killingholme
Trying to avoid active/recently active fields as they can be a pain with GA aircraft, Tornados and occasionally airliners dropping in to visit from AI packages... I've done North Killingholme already but can look at updating it. Anyone want a moderately naff freeware scenery of Metheringham to fly out of, provided I can find sufficient information on it? There's plenty left on the ground to work from.
Cheers,
Ian P.
Something to whet the appetite: W4118 "Admiral Prune" was Guy Gibson's a/c while commanding 106 Squadron.

definitely up for Metheringham. When visiting a few airshows at Waddington, i would drive up from Kent on the Saturday evening and sleep in my car on the main Metheringham runway until morning, very atmospheric
Hi Bazzar,
Any news on a release date.The P47 and Lanc seem to be taking a long time.
Cheers chris

OT Pat but have you ever come across the photo(s) of the RAAF Cat flying an approach on one of the BPF carriers entering Sydney Harbor?
IIRC when my Father was showing them to me he remarked 'They threw everything including the Admiral's medals at us'..............................................
Must dig out his 'stuff' and do some scans.
