File Description:
A close derivative of the war-time Lancaster bomber, the Lancastrian was fitted with streamlined nose and tail cones. Lancastrians were used as long-range freighters, VIP transports, and as fast long-range airliners. These aircrafts, purchased by 'Alitalia' during 1947, operated as passenger liners in the first postwar long range flights until were replaced with DC-4s in 1951.
Textures set only in 'Alitalia' I-AHBY (nickname 'Libeccio') livery for the new Manfred Jahn / Paul Edwards's FS2004 Avro Lancastrian (available at http://classicbritishfiles.com). Installation instructions are included. Repaint by Manuele Villa.

| RAF Elsham Wold |
|
File Description:
In the late 1930s with a new war on the horizon, extra airfields were again needed to accommodate an expansion of the RAF. Former First World War stations were surveyed for suitability, and an area just to the west of the original Elsham site was deemed to be better suited. work began in the winter of 1939-1940, and the station opened with the arrival in July 1941 of 103 Squadron. The station was equipped with a main runway 2,000 yards (1,829 m) long, and two subsidiaries of 1,600 yards (1,463 m) and 1,400 yards (1,280 m). Three hangars (two T-2's and one J-Type) and 27 aircraft hardstands (later increased to 36) were built. Three more T-2 hangars were built in 1944. Accommodation for around 2,500 personnel was dispersed in the nearby farmland.
No. 103 is credited with more operational sorties than any other 1 Group squadron, and consequently suffered the group's highest losses. Of the 248 bombers lost on operations flying from Elsham Wolds, 198 were from No. 103 Squadron. By type, losses were 28 Vickers Wellingtons, 12 Halifaxes and 208 Lancasters. One Elsham Wolds Lancaster, Lancaster III ED888 M2 (Mike Squared)[3] which served with both Nos. 103 and 576, held the Bomber Command record for operational sorties, having completed 140 between May 1943 and December 1944.[4] A total of 974 operational hours.

| RAF Wombleton |
|
File Description:
RAF Wombleton opened in 1943 as a sub-station of RAF Topcliffe. It was part of RAF Bomber Command's No. 6 Group RCAF,
and along with the main station at Topcliffe and the station at Dishforth, was designated part of No 61 (Training)
Base. In November 1944, No 61 Base was transferred to No 7 (Training) Group and it was renumbered No 76 Training
Base. No 1666 Heavy Conversion Unit (HCU) was the first unit to move to Wombleton. Aircrew who were originally trained
on twin-engined aircraft such as Wellingtons or Whitley’s received conversion training on heavy four-engined bombers
such as the Halifax or Lancaster. No 1666 HCU remained at Wombleton until the end of the war. The RAF took over the
station and stayed for several years.

File Description:
Textures for Ross McLennan's Master Bomber Avro Lancaster as KM-B (R5508) and KM-C (R5556) of 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron. Original aircraft by Ross Mclennan required. R5556 served with 44 Squadron from RAF Waddington as KM-C until November 1942 then transferred to 661 HCU. Crashed on 13th March 1943. R5508 KM-B flown by Acting Squadron Leader John Nettleton lead a flight of six Lancasters of No. 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron from RAF Waddington on a low level daylight raid on the MAN Diesel Factory in Ausburg. KM-B was the only aircraft from 44 Squadron to return from the raid and Acting Squadron Leader Nettleton was awarded the Victoria Cross. He later commanded No. 44 Squadron, but was killed on 13 July 1943 while returning from a raid on Turin.

| RAF Dunholme Lodhe - Lincolnshire, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Dunholme Lodge was a Royal Air Force station located between the parishes of Welton and Dunholme in Lincolnshire, England.
The grass airfield was first used by the Royal Air Force during 1941 and 1942 for use by Handley Page Hampden aircraft from nearby RAF Scampton, and was officially opened as a RAF Station in September 1942 as part of RAF Bomber Command with the building of three hard runways.
The main occupier of the station was 44 Squadron, with the Avro Lancaster four-engined heavy bomber, which moved in from RAF Waddington in May 1943 and stayed until it moved to RAF Spilsby in September 1944.
In November 1944 flying operations ceased due the proximity of other stations which did not allow night flying. At the end of the war 120 Lancasters had been lost on operations from Dunholme Lodge.

| Stereo Sound Upgrade for Bristol Hercules Engines |
|
File Description:
This stereo sound upgrade of Harry
Follas's Bristol Hercules piston-engine
sounds for FS98 was created primarily
for use with the Handley Page Hermes
by Georg Hauzenberger, but should work
well with any aircraft that was fitted
with these engines. This includes
aircraft such as the Handley Page
Hastings, Grumman Albatross, Nord
Noratlas, Vickers Viking, Short Solent,
Avro Lancaster (Mk2 models) and the
Bristol Beaufighter.
By converting the sounds to FS2004
multiple-engine stereo, the engines
now emit a realistic piston-engine roar
at full throttle, but this quietens
down to a more subtle sound in cruise.
Other associated sounds have been
added - ehgine startup, shutdown and
wind effects in flight. Touchdown
effects will now detect if the
aircraft is landing on ground or
water so you can comfortably use
these sounds with amphibious aircraft.
Requires original FS98 soundpack by
Harry Follas hercsnd.zip (the files
are also distributed with the Handley
Page Hermes and Hastings models and
probably others too.

| RAF Skipton On Swale |
|
File Description:
RAF Skipton On Swale is a former Royal Air Force station operated by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War.
The village of Sandhutton is located just to the east. RAF Skipton-on-Swale was a sub-station of RAF Leeming.
The airfield opened in autumn 1942, becoming operational in May 1943, originally a 4 Group facility and first hosted
420 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), which moved to RAF Middleton St. George in October 1942. Skipton was
assigned to No. 6 Group, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in January 1943. RCAF squadrons stationed here included 424
Squadron, No. 432 Squadron (which moved to RAF East Moor in September 1943), and 433 Squadron. Both squadrons flew the
Halifax bomber until replaced by the Lancaster in January 1945. 424 Squadron lost 52 aircraft and 433 Squadron lost 38
aircraft.
When Nos. 424 and 433 Squadrons were disbanded in October 1945 the airfield was closed. The station was not used again
and has since reverted largely to farmland. The site is home to turkey and pig farms.

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery for Inyokern Airport (KIYK). SORRY everyone there were some libraries and textures missing from the recent release. This package contains all missing objects and libraries and is a complete replacement for ANY of my Inyokern sceneries previously installed, no other download required. (Nestled on the sunny side of the southern Sierras, Inyokern is a great jumping-off place for hi desert adventures. Known for decades for it's great soaring spots, Inyokern itself is busy enough with an average of 80 flights a day including it's United/Skywest commuter flights and occasional military traffic from the nearby China Lake Naval Weapons Test Center. Geographically, the airport is situated in the high desert of Southern California, 100 miles east-northeast of the county seat in Bakersfield, 80 miles north-northeast of the Lancaster and Palmdale areas, and 120 miles north-northwest of San Bernardino. The airport itself covers 1,640 acres at an elevation of 2,457 feet, with three asphalt paved runways that can accommodate almost any class of civilian, commercial, or military aircraft. Inyokern Airport is served by commercial airlines connecting through Los Angeles International Airport.)

| Avro York (Base Package) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Re-upload. Used variously as a long-range freighter and/or passenger airliner, the
York was designed around the wings, engines, undercarriage, and tail
assembly of the Lancaster bomber, adding a box-shaped fuselage and a
center fin. Of a total of 253 production aircraft built, 208 initially
went to the RAF, 25 to BOAC, 12 to BSAA, and 5 to FAMA (Flota Area
Mercante Argentina). Specially fitted VIP versions were used by Winston
Churchill and General de Gaulle. After completing 29,000 sorties in the
Berlin Airlift of 1948-9, many RAF Yorks were sold to charter operators
such as Aviation Traders, Dan Air, Hunting Clan, Lancashire Aircraft
Corporation, and Skyways of London. Some of these re-acquired RAF
roundels for "trooping flights" to the Middle East in the 1950s. From
1955 onward, the Yorks were gradually withdrawn, although some soldiered
on until 1964. Two such veterans have been preserved as museum exhibits
in Duxford and Cosford in the UK. Gmax exterior model and textures by
Manfred Jahn, FDE by Paul Edwards, panel by Phil Perrott (Alphasim),
Paul Edwards, and Lars Fors. A dedicated AI version has been released
separately. The textures in this package represent MW207 of 246 Squadron
RAF, BOAC G-AGNP ("Manchester"), and Skyways G-AHEY. The Flight dynamics are
for a York fitted with Merlin-500 series engines.
