Hawker Hector

After a production delay I have finally uploaded the Hawker Hector - this a/c comes with three textures by UncleTgt and the dp provides for a bomb load or supply panniers. A brief day in the front line attacking German forces surrounding Calais in May 1940 - the remainder of its service life spent towing Hotspur gliders in pilot training.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - British

Description: Biplane used by RAF prewar in Army Co-operation units - being passed to RAuxAF squadrons when war broke out.This a/c was briefly in the spotlight when flying sorties against German force surrounding Calais in May 1940. Although obsolete for front - and even second line service the Hector performed sterling service as a glider tug in the training of glider pilots for the emerging airborne forces.

Finally retired in late 1942; some were sold to the Irish Air Corps.

Baldy,

Thank you very much for this, hopefully life can slow down again so I can pick up the pace of BoF! :encouragement:
 
Kind words

Hi Guys

Uncle and I very much appreciate your kind words about our efforts -- there will be some new stuff soon

Nice to see this little known biplane. Unfortunately for the pilots, the Brits had to fight with anything having wings in the early part of the war.
