About This File
FS98 RAF DeHavilland Hornet F Mk.3, Royal Air Force 45 Squadron based at Tengah, Singapore 1948/9. The Hornet was conceived as a long range fighter for use against the Japanese. Derived from the famous DH Mosquito, it was the fastest piston-engined airplane to be placed in production for service. Developed too late for WWII service, its dazzling performance led to its continued use by both the RAF and RN (as the Sea Hornet) into the early 50's. FS5 model and FD by Mike Hill. Converted for FS98 with animated prop, flaps, and landing gear. Includes updated edition of Chuck Dome's CFS P-38H panel (with additional gauges by Chuck Dome, Glenn Copeland, Brian Kostick, Jay Crawford, Paul Schwerdtfeger and John Hirsch).
