Vintage London Airports for FS2004
Version 1.00, 31 March 2004 freeware
by John McKeon, Limerick, Ireland ([email protected])
for Microsoft Flight Simulator FS9 (FS2004)
Description:
These scenery files represent three airfields, Brooklands, Croydon, and Hendon situated around London, England in the Golden Age of aviation, between 1930 and 1940.
Brooklands, the oldest airfield in the UK, developed inside the classic banked oval motor race track opened in 1909, and was the birthplace of the British aviation industry and the starting point for a number of pioneering flights. Now sadly reduced, Brooklands holds an aviation museum and still operates as an airstrip.
Croydon was the pre-war London Airport for Transatlantic and Far Eastern flights, replaced in 1944 by london Heathrow, and now built over.
RAF Hendon was the venue for spectacular airshows before the war, was a crucial WWII airfield, and now holds the RAF museum and the Metropolitan Police training college.

File Description:
Founded in 1860, Williams Lake is located in the beautiful central British Columbia region known as the Cariboo. With a population of about 11,000, Williams Lake is the largest urban center between Kamloops and Prince George. The airport has one 7,000' (2,100m) runway and is served by Central Mountain Air and Pacific Coastal Airways.
This complete rebuild of CYWL features all new taxiways, aprons and buildings, an accurate custom terminal building, and the usual fences, trees, ramp objects, etc. Many thanks to Shawn Lund, Air Attack Officer, BC Wildfire Management Branch, Kamloops Fire Centre, for the photos of the terminal building and his permission to use them. Included are the Nav Canada aerodrome diagram and the two instrument approach plates. (These approach plates are out of date and obviously NOT for real world use.)
This scenery was designed for use with Ultimate Terrain and was not tested in the default scenery. It may or may not work in FSX.

File Description:
This delightfully streamlined airliner from the Classic Fifties is now only barely remembered in the U.K and probably almost unknown to the world at large. It has its origins as the prime contender after W.W.2 in the race for a medium range turboprop airliner in contention with the Viscount 630.
Had the manufacturers chosen the R.R. Dart as the power plant instead of the troublesome A.S. Mamba, then maybe the course of history in British aviation at that time would have been quite different. Who knows?
Only two flying airframes plus a test fuselage were made and unfortunately are no longer with us but under the aegis of F.S., we present our interpretation for your pleasure and enjoyment.
Our model depicts the two completed airframes and as an added bonus we have included
Coventry Airport AFCAD and Add on Scenery depicted in the 1950's including all hangars, Armstrong Whitworth Factory/hangar complex and control tower. Editvoicepack Apollo call sign.

| Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX (BF273) RAF Special Service Flight |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Spitfire Mk.IX by FlyingIron, in the colors of Spitfire IXc BF273 was one of the Spitfires modified for high altitude interceptions, based at Northolt, 1942, and regularly flown by F/O Prince Emanuel Galtzine. The prince was a Russian immigrant, a great grandson of Tsar Paul 1. After the Russian revolution, his family fled Russia, ending up in England. He wanted to fly, and when the Russian attacked Finland, he decided to join the Finnish Air Force. However, on hearing his mother was killed in the London blitz, he returned to the uK (via the US and Canada) and joined the RAF, becoming a Spitfire pilot with the Special Service Flight in Northolt. On 12 spetember 1942, he intercepted a JU-86 above Southhampton at 41.000ft and attacked it. The battle went up to 43.000 ft, and was the highest recorded air battle of WWII. His spitfire only had two cannons, and one of them was frozen solid, giving a very unbanaced flight while shooting, combined with excessive vapor trails of his ammunition. It is believe he manged to hit the german aircraft, but in the end it got away safely. However, since the Germans now knew they could be intercepted, they launched no more high altitue attacks on the UK. This paint was included in the original package, but I wasn't happy with the colour, so I redid it completely in what I believe is the correct tint of PRU Blue. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom

| P-51D Mustang "Upupa Epops" |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint pack only for the WWII Fighters P-51D. P-51D 44-72364 was built at the North American Aviation Inglewood plant in 1944. It was sent into action with the 353rd Fighter Group, 352nd Fighter Squadron, 8th Air Force. The aircraft was flown by Capt. Harrison "Bud" Tordoff, who named it "Upupa Epops", latin for the Hoopoe Bird which has ungainly flight. At war's end Bud Torduff had claimed nine enemy airplanes shot down, one of them an Me-262 shot down while flying "Upupa Epops." After the war the aircraft was sent to the Royal Swedish Air Force, then flew with the Dominican Air Force from 1952 until 1984. Paul Allen, of Microsoft fame, purchased the aircraft in 1999, adding it to his growing muesum, the Flying Heritage Collection. The aircraft immediately went to WestPac, in California, for restoration. During this time period it was restored inside and out, matching every component to every specification of the original, utilizing documents upon documents of information. When the aircraft completed restoration in 2001, it was the most original, most authentic of its type. After several test flights in its factory finish, the original "Upupa Epops" markings were applied. Currently the aircraft can be seen at its newest home, with the Flying Heritage Collection, at Paine Field, near Seattle. Included within this download are two repaints, one portrays exactly how "Upupa Epops" looked when it rolled out of WestPac's shop after restoration, in factory standard, and the second portrays the aircraft complete with markings.
