| RAF Polebrook |
|
File Description:
On June 28, 1942, RAF Polebrook was officially turned over to the USAAF and the airbase became the base of the 97th Bombardment Group, the first USAAF heavy bomber organization to arrive in the UK. It was designated USAAF Station 110.
The 97th BG was assigned to the 1st Combat Wing, at RAF Bassingbourn. It's operational squadrons were divided between Polebrook and RAF Grafton Underwood:
340th Bomb Squadron (RAF Polebrook)
341st Bomb Squadron (RAF Polebrook)
The 97th BG conducted a total of 14 missions from Polebrook, attacking airfields, marshalling yards, industries, naval installations, and other targets in France and the Low Countries.
The group sortied 247 aircraft, dropped 395 tons of bombs on Nazi-controlled territory, and lost 14 aircraft. On October 21, 1942, the 97th Bomb Group was transferred to the Twelfth Air Force in the Mediterranean theater and Polebrook was unoccupied until April 1943.
351st Bombardment Group (Heavy)
On April 15, 1943, the 351st Bomb Group arrived at RAF Polebrook. It was assigned to the 94th Combat Wing, also at Polebrook. The group tail code was a "Triangle J". It's operational squadrons were:
508th Bomb Squadron (YB)
509th Bomb Squadron (RQ)
510th Bomb Squadron (TU)
511th Bomb Squadron (DS)
Boeing B-17G-85-BO Flying Fortress, Serial 43-38465 of the 510th Bomb Squadron. This aircraft survived the war and returned to USA on 8 June 1945
Douglas-Long Beach B-17G-30-DL Flying Fortress Serial 43-38116 of the 509th Bomb Squadron.The 351st's first completed combat mission took place on May 14, 1943, when 18 B-17's targeted a German Luftwaffe airfield at Kortrijk, Belgium. As the war progressed, the 351st operated primarily against strategic objectives in Germany, striking such targets as ball-bearing plants at Schweinfurt, communications at Mayen, marshalling yards at Koblenz, a locomotive and tank factory at Hannover, industries at Berlin, bridges at Cologne, an armaments factory at Mannheim, and oil refineries at Hamburg.This is for FSX and you will need to have Ted Andrews's RAF Hangars Library and his other great RAF Buildings. They can
be found on AVSIM. Search the FSX section for "Ted Andrews" - you'll find loads of his scenery object files for
RAF airfields. Follow his instructions on how to install them.

File Description:
For a while now, the Royal Netherlands Air Force is looking for a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV, to fill the ISR-gap between tactical requirement and avaliable manned recce assets. One of the candidates is the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (or Predator-B as it was formerly known). This repaint on the magnificent model by FFS gives you an impression what a Dutch Reaper can look like.The squadron logo is of the disbanded 306 Sqn, a unit with a long aerial reconnaissance history.
You need a legal, payware copy of the FFS General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper for FSX in order to use this repaint.

| FSX World Explorer Charles Darwin |
|
File Description:
On 27th of December, 1831 Charles Robert Darwin sailed from Devonport, England for a five-year voyage around the world on HMS Beagle and returned almost five years later on 2nd of October 1836. On 27th of December 1941 our journey begins in Devonport, near Plymouth in the Imperial Airways' Short S30 LR "Cabot" flying boat to follow this example. Since Charles Darwin also made many in-land journeys on the South-american and Australian continents, a flying boat would not be practical; instead we use the FSX default DC-3 for our continental flights. Download and install Jens B. Kristensen's beautiful "empire20.zip", thanks :-) Jens!

| DBWsim: Saipan Isley (Aslito) Field |
|
File Description:
The fourth in DBWsim Design's series of historic WWII airfields in the Marianas Islands is Saipan's Isley (Aslito) Field (which follows up scenery packs for West Field on Tinian and Kobler Field Saipan and North Field Tinian.). This scenery is a stand alone package and does not require any other DBWsim scenery packages to be fully functional.
Isley field is still in use today as Saipan International Airport. The remains of the B-29 base adjacent to the current Airport are still visible. You will notice that there has been significant degradation and overgrowth. Still visible in this scenery are numerous hard stands and support buildings in varying degrees of disrepair.

| British Airways 'Union Flag' Meljet Boeing 777-200 (GE) Pack 1 |
|
File Description:
This is the first of my British Airways Boeing 777-200 packs, containing textures ONLY for
6 aircraft with registrations G-RAES, G-VIIA, G-VIIB, G-VIIC, G-VIID, and G-VIIE.
Now that there is only one BA 777 (G-VIIS) still in World Tail colours (Chelsea Rose),
I thought it would be appropriate to do repaints of the entire fleet in
the standard 'Union Flag' Tail.
These 'clean' repaints give the impression that the aircraft has just come out
of the paintshop, with a beautiful shiny smooth reflective look.
G-RAES = Operates out of London Heathrow whilst G-VIIA/B/C/D/E = Operate out of London Gatwick.
