ColR1948 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 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 W/Op AG Sgt. K.N.

flightsimg Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 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 Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

jankees Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 cool! I've always been surprised at how narrow the Hampden is Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightsimg Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 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!
