This is not my paint, it is available in the library by Edward Cook.

 

A little about the aircraft:

Handley Page Hampden Mk.I P1333 (EA-F) of 49 Squadron, RAF Scampton. Lost on combat operations on 17/8/1940 when crash-landed on returning from a raid on Merseburg, Germany. Took off from RAF Scampton at 22:30 on 16/8/40, and came down at Alphen, Noord-Brabant, near Breda, Netherlands at 03:30 LT. All four crew on board survived, and were taken as PoWs:

 

Pilot Sgt. M.G.P Stretton RAF Survived POW

Navigator Sgt. C.H. Butcher RAF Survived POW

W/Op AG AC.2 F.H. Lindesay RAF Survived POW

Ah! That one is great! It's the 'Flying suitcase!' I've been looking for it since a while. Should I find it here it will soon appear like a part of my WW2 collection! :p

Hence the 'Flying suitcase'. In the USSR, they kept some from the time of the Murmansk convoys, as they called it the 'balalaika' :):)

On the other hand, looks like I didn't find any for FSX!
