Palembang FAA Avenger skinpack UT
This is a set of repaints for Allens FAA Avenger MkII for CFS 2.
These aircraft all took part in Operation Meridian, the raids against the Palembang Oil Refineries in January 1945.
"1H" JZ379 820 sqn FAA, JAN 45: Hit by flak over Palembang during Meridian 1 24th JAN '45, the a/c ditched on the way back to the Fleet. CPO HGC Mitchell, S/L A Hemington, L/A CL Harris all KIA.
"P1G" JZ336 849 sqn FAA, JAN 45: This a/c saved from Jap fighters by "Q4P" over the target during Meridian 2, 29th JAN '45, the a/c ditched on reaching the Fleet. The crew were rescued by HMS Whelp, but the Observer subsequently died from his wounds.
"Q4P" JZ186 854 sqn FAA, JAN 45: Lt GJ Connolly shot down a ki-44 Tojo with his front guns as it was attacking "P1G". The observer Lt RE Jess had earlier jettisoned the fuselage door to take extremely clear & detailed photographs of target damage using a hand-held camera!
"Q4H" FN854 854 sqn FAA, JAN 45: On 14th AUG '44 Lt Voak achieved the seemingly impossible by shooting down a V-1 flying bomb using the Avengers front guns. This represents how his a/c appeared during the period of the Palembang raids.
"W1P" JZ558 857 sqn FAA, JAN 45: Shot down by a Jap fighter over Pladjoe Refinery complex during Merdian 1 24th JAN '45. S/L REA Hibburd, S/L J Mason and P/O DH Duncan all KIA
Also included, a WIN 7 safe 2D panel & a modified dp with kelti exhaust effects & new loadouts.
Weapons used: DBolts U.S. weapons, Bismark13s Beaufighter bombs, Baldy's aerial mine & 1600lb AP bomb from his Barracuda Mk2, Shessi's 250lb depth charge.
Options to use Gary20s ASV radar aerials (too big for ASB radar, but the nearest we have so far), & a MkIII Avenger loadout that calls for AF Scrubs radar pod from his Firefly NF1 (http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/FIREFLY NF Mk1.zip)
To install, unzip the download and place your chosen files in the matching folders for Allen's Avenger MkII model within the aircraft folder in your CFS2 Main Directory.
Thanks to: Allen for revising the OH TBF to represent the model used by FAA squadrons. The B24 Guy for his original work de-mirroring the MS Stock TBF
This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.
