    Icon22 Hawker Hind skin packs by fde_bressy released!

    Merry Xmas to you all and your families and relatives.

    I made, as Christmas gift, two skinpacks for an underrated nice biplane, that saw combat during WWII.

    Hinds at war:
    This skinpack is made of 5 repaints for Ted Cooks’s Hart derivatives for CFS2 (see in the library)

    RAF-Hawker Hind Mk.I TT
    An RAF unarmed, dual control, Hawker Hind Trainer L7213, probably used as target tug, painted according
    to a picture found on the web.

    RAF-Hawker Hind T.Mk.I
    A trainer version used by the 1st Fighter Trainer School, Netheravon, in 1940. Painting thanks AZ model decal sheet.

    RNZAF-Hawker Hind Mk.I
    A New-zealander Hind of 6th.squadron RNZAF, in 1940, from pictures found on ADF Serials site and AZ
    model decal sheet.
    New Zealand operated 61 Hinds supplied as part of the British Commonwealth ('Empire') Air Training plan.
    Fifty-eight aircraft were delivered by sea in 1940-41, while a further fourteen were sunk in transit.
    The preparation for a potential Japanese attack meant even second-line aircraft were prepared for use under the FAFAI
    scheme. The Hinds were assigned to 6 (Army Cooperation) which formed at Milson (Palmerston North) on
    February 20th under W/Cdr J.G. Fraser.

    RNZAF-Hawker Hind T.Mk.I
    NZ 1524, used by 10 Operational Training Unit RNZAF 10.

    SAAF-Hawker Hind T.Mk.I
    The South African Air Force received a total of 128 Hawker Hind aircraft that saw service in the Union of South Africa
    over the period 1940 to 1944. During this period the South African Air Force received a further 63 Hind aircraft, that
    were not allotted local serial numbers, most of the ‘RAF’ serial aircraft were ‘struck-of charge’ in the Union of South
    Africa, with three lost at sea, when the SS Auditor sank


    In the package, you will find adapted Aircraft and DP files.
    Should work for FS 2004, but do not copy the prop_440 bitmap.

    Top one, L7213, is not a Target Tug (it is lacking the distinctive black stripes on undersurface) , I'll be back shortly, after a rummage at Rafweb.


    Ok, found it, allocated to #10 Flying Training School at RAF Ternhill

    Hello Pete,

    I was probably confused by this strange roll on the side of the AC


    What can be this strange thing?

    The only thing similar I've seen,is on a Tiger Moth, a mounting for Light Series Bomb Racks for dropping practice / actual bombs from, there would be one /or two bombs in front, and behind that mounting pointing downwards, google 'Operation Banquet Light' ; which was the use of Flying Training school aircraft on Anti-Invasion duties , had the German Invasion of Britain gone ahead.

    Its' in wrong place for a towed cable , too close to fuselage so cable would likely impede control

    10 FTS moved to Canada in late 1940 btw.

    Ttfn

    IMO, that certainly looks like it could be some sort of locking device for a deployed tow cable.

    Something similar to the ratcheting locks employed on sailboats to lock the sail ropes but covered by an enclosure for weather protection.

    I believe it's a weight devise that had to be installed when the aft cockpit was empty.
    Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honour.
