Hello there guys
I have made some more repaints for the awsome payware Alphasim Vampire painted as Vampire T.55 #263 of the South African Air Force Air Operations School during the 1970's featuring some Orange Dayglo orange with old style Castle Springbok roundals and squadron badge on the nose. At the end of World War Two, the various flying, bombing and gunnery schools were disbanded and a single Bombing, Gunnery and Navigation School was established at Langebaanweg in 1946. In the 1950's, the name changed to Air Operations School, flying Harvards, Spitfire MkIXes, Vampire T11s, FB52s and T55s. The unit moved to Pietersburg in October 1967 and in 1970 the Vampires were replaced by the Impala Mk I. The School again changed its name to the Advanced Flying School, but on 1 August 1972 it was changed once again to 85 Advanced Flying School. By 1973 the school was completely re-equipped with Impala MkIs and Mirage IIIDZs. On 30th October 1974 the unit received the first Mirage III DZ, D2Z and EZ previously operated by 3 Squadron and a Mirage Flight was formed to operate the Mirages. The Sabre (previously operated by 1 Squadron) served with the Schools Sabre Flight from January 1976 to February 1980 and the Impala MkII was added to the fleet operated by the School. A further name change took place in 1982 when it became 85 Combat Flying School.

I have included a few screenshots below to show you how it looks!
