With Mr. Garwoods superb Mosquito hitting the FSX scene I found muself reading up on Coastal Command operations against German shipping on the Norwegian coast during the war (well, I'm hopping to see a FB.VI... ). Very interesting reading about the Banff and Dallachy strike wings flying Beaufighters and Mosquitos, often with Norwegian pathfinders or "outriders" in Mossies from No. 333 Sqn. Sad reading as well to see the heavy losses these units had during the closing months of the war going after German shipping in Norwegian fjords.
So I went searching for a decent Beaufighter for FSX and to my suprise I found out that Garwood had even made this aircraft a few years back. The Beaufighter package contains a nice sellection of both night and strike fighters with the possibility to change the addon stuff like nose radar, gunner and tail leading edge extension from entries in the aircraft.cfg file.
I'm currently researching and painting No. 144 Sqn RAF schemes from the early 1945 time frame, when the squadron was based at Dallachy.
My question to the SoH crowd is; do we have any scenery of the old coastal command bases up in Scotland for FSX?
