Von Humboldt's Latin America expedition |
![]() |
File Description:
Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt (September 14, 1769 - May 6, 1859) was a German naturalist and explorer. Between 1799 and 1804, Humboldt traveled extensively in Latin America, exploring and describing it for the first time in a manner generally considered to be a modern scientific point of view. On June 5, 1949 (150 years after Von Humboldt's departure) our journey begins in La Coruna, Spain, in Lufthansa's Dornier Do-26 flying boat to follow this example. Since Von Humboldt also made many in-land journeys on the South-American continent, we use the Junkers Ju-52 for our continental VFR flights. Requires do26.zip, embflaw.zip, kedigau.zip, ju52v60b.zip, and ju52v60update1.zip

North American T6 Harvard Mk IIb 'KF 183 Raspberry Ripple' |
![]() |
File Description:
A repaint for Denis and Daniel da Silva's T6 Texan/Harvards.
Textures Only!!!
Background: KF183 was one of three Harvards' used at the Uk's Aircraft and Armaments Experimental Establishment (better known as 'Boscombe Down').
One of the three was sold, one retired and one still flies with the Aircraft Test and Evaluation Section as a low speed camera 'chase' plane, and occasionally by students of the Empire Test Pilot's School, still in its' 1940's vintage yellow paintwork.
After 40 yrs service I think it,(if it is KF 183 still flying) deserves a repaint !
This is my interpretation of how it might look in the modern 'Rasberry Ripple' scheme used by UK research establishments.
Quinetic is the name of the new private company which now runs the A.A.E.E facilities on behalf of UK government.

Consolidated PBY-5 RNZAF 6 Sqn XX-W |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
A repaint for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of NZ4020 XX-W of the RNZAF. Bu08435, it flew with 6 Flying Boat Squadron. Following Japan's entry into the war in December 1941, the RNZAF had to switch from primarily training pilots to Europe into a combat force. No. 6 Squadron RNZAF was formed as an army co-operation unit at Milson in February 1942 flying Vickers Vildebeest and Hawker Hind aircraft. At the same time, No. 5 Squadron RNZAF moved to Fiji with Short Singapores and Vickers Vildebeest and Vincent biplanes. Modern maritime patrol flying boats (and more Hudson light bombers) were requested under Lend Lease and when the first Consolidated Catalinas arrived a detachment of men from No. 5 Squadron was assigned to convert to these types as No. 6 Squadron. Before the squadron was officially formed these men successfully completed their first air-sea rescue of a downed US aircrew. From May 1943 No. 6 squadron undertook action against the Japanese. The Squadron also conducted search and rescue missions for allied aircrew and seamen, and undertook many open sea rescues. XX-W arrived in Fiji on 21 October 1943. On February 18, 1944 it took off on a dumbo rescue mission to north Buka Island and landed to rescue two crew members and pick up a dead body from the crash of B-25, and successfully returned them to Halavo. On 26 May 1945, it stalled on landing at Hobsonville and was towed to its mooring by a crash boat. The induced damage resulted in the aircraft being written off charge on 18 June 1945.
