| GB-0112 - RAF Bassingbourn - Cambridgeshire, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Bassingbourn is a former Royal Air Force station located in Cambridgeshire approximately 3 mi (5 km) north of Royston, Hertfordshire and 11 mi (18 km) south west of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.
RAF Bassingbourn was constructed by John Laing & Son between 1937 and 1939 in the parishes of Wendy and Bassingbourn immediately to the west of the A14 (now the A1198) road. The site selected was low ground between several tributaries of the River Cam. The area had been long cleared of forest and tended to be swampy and unstable, and because the boggy ground produced a persistent mist over the large meadow the site was considered ideal for airfield camouflage.
During the Second World War it served first as an RAF station and then as a bomber airfield of the Eighth Air Force, of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). It remains the home of the Tower Museum Bassingbourn. From 19 August 1942 to 25 June 1945, Bassingbourn served as headquarters for the 1st Combat Bombardment Wing of the 1st Bomb Division. It was assigned USAAF designation Station 121.
The RAF resumed occupation of Bassingbourn on 26 June 1945, the airfield was officially returned on 10 July 1945. The station became one of the main airfields for long-range transport aircraft. In 1948 and 1949 Avro York, Avro Lancaster and Douglas Dakota aircraft from the base took part in the Berlin Airlift, a massive operation transporting essential commodities to the beleaguered city.
In February 1952, RAF Bassingbourn received its first allocation of English Electric Canberra bombers and became the first jet bomber operational conversion unit (OCU) in the world. Canberras operated from Bassingbourn for 17 years and one of the aircraft is on static display in the Barracks. From 1963 to 1969 the Joint School of Photographic Interpretation was also located there.
On 29 August 1969, the last RAF Commanding Officer, Sqn Ldr A.M. McGregor MBE, turned over the station to the British Army as Bassingbourn Barracks.
The barracks were established, on the site of the former RAF Bassingbourn airfield, in January 1970, as the new Depot for the Queen's Division. The depot was responsible for training recruits undergoing their 19-week basic training before joining a regular battalion; in 1993 the Barracks were re-designated the home of the "Army Training Regiment, Bassingbourn" and remained as such for nearly 20 years. Bassingbourn Barracks closed as an army training location in August 2012.
The site was reopened for training Libyan soldiers in 2014 but closed down the same year.
Since approximately 1970 the site has retained its RAF links by being the home of 2484 (Bassingbourn) Squadron Air Training Corps.

| Black Cat Catalina PBY5/5Av1.1 for x-plane |
|
File Description:
This update includes improvements to the fuselage shape, addition of retractable wing floats using wheel farings, an improved but not custom panel, improved prop efficiency and more. The PBY Catalina is probably the best known flying boat with over 4000 produced by Consolidated aircraft and licensees. The Black Cat squadrons all done in flat black played havoc particularly for the Japanese in the Pacific. Fitted with radar, with a 15 hour endurance and 2800 mile range they hunted Japanese naval ships by night and bombed or torpedoed them by the hundreds up. There are 6 engine nacelles used in the model, 2 represent the 1200 HP radial engines driving the props, the others are jets with 5 lbs of thrust, 1 is used for the rear fuselage section, 1 is used for the wing pylon, 1 is used for the flare from the fuselage to the vertical stabilizer and the last is used for the forward observation and gunner space. Two are not used. Wing sections are taken up by the main wing and the support spars so there you go. The fuel tanks are used for the side gunner pods since these can be decorated separately. The plane flies very well and is stable as a rock. Takeoffs from water are quite easy as long as you don't dip a wing tip (no floats remember). The Black Cat squadron logo used in the paint scheme is courtesy of http://www.daveswarbirds.com/blackcat/logos.htm and is from the VP-71 Black Cat squadron.

File Description:
This repaint is for the A2A Wings of Power III Spitfire, representing the Mk IIa, P7308 of 71 Squadron, flown by Pilot Officer William R. Dunn. 71 'Eagle' Squadron was formed when American pilots joined the Royal Air Force at the start of the Second World War. No.71 Squadron operated Spitfires out of North Weald from June 1941 until September 1942 when the 'Eagle' squadrons were disbanded, when the USA entered the war in Europe. This paint is based on the livery worn for the 70th anniversary of the United States Army Air Force arriving at RAF Duxford in April 1943.

File Description:
Branniff Douglas DC-8-32 Jellybean Blue circa 1970. Updated textures only for the payware Just Flight DC8 Jetliner series 10 to 40 with Service Pack 1 installed which changed the location of the windows. This file supersedes braniff_blue_-32.zip that is prior to the release of the Service Pack 1 update which changed the location of the windows. The photo used for reference was of a -62 series and this repaint reflects its "N" number. This is the first of the whole Jellybean color series that I hope to have uploaded in the near future.

| Revised traffic file for 'Traffic_CCG 47_West.bgl' |

File Description:
Revised traffic file for 'Traffic_CCG 47_West.bgl'.
The original download [US_Canadian_Coast_Guard_AI_Boat_Traffic_V1.zip]
contained an error in the traffic file for the CCG west MLBs.
My apologies to all who downloaded the original version and to the
Canadian Coast Guard. I made a single line mistake which did not
allow all the MLB's to appear and the ones that did were in the
wrong place.
To repair this problem simply unzip this 'traffic_CCG 47_West.bgl'
and replace the original with the one in this zip.
All the CCG Motor Life Boats will appear.

File Description:
This packets includes a repaint of the Royal Netherlands Airforce
Historical flight (Stichting Koninklijke Luchtmacht Historische Vlucht, SKHV)
based at Gilze Rijen AB in the Netherlands.
To be used with the freeware T-6G Texan by Warwick Carter (Wozza), available
HERE
Yes, I know the T-6G Texan is different from the AT-6 Harvard IIB flown by the
SKHV yet think the model comes close enough.
Besides the outside, the inside of the aircraft is repainted as-well, including the pilot and some instruments.
