WILDCAT MK VI 881
CFS3 - V4.00.169
OPERATION HANGER CLEAR
In many cases I have not had the time to research all the background on the planes & in some cases the original creator of the skin or visual may have been lost. Rather then continuing to hold onto them we have decided to release them "AS IS".
I have also abbreviated the instruction package in order to get them out for Christmas 2009. Instruction packages from the normally released AvHistory planes can be useful in filling in the blanks.
Should anyone have an issue with me on specific credit for a plane or anything that does not work; I apologize in advance & invite you to contact me through AvHistory.org

WILDCAT MK VI 881
It is based on the outstanding FM-2 WILDCAT visual created by Anthony GRAMPS Sullenger and his original readme included in this download package has additional information.
Dan Swart painted this aircraft to represent a Wildcat VI flown by 881 squadron RNAS code U*G, tail number JV-715 from the HMS Puncher in February of 1945. This particular aircraft was involved in escorting RNAS TBM Avengers in minelaying Skatesstrammen, 12 February 1945
In November 1943 the squadron joined the 7th Naval Fighter Wing having re-equipped with 12 Wildcat VI's, and embarked on HMS Pursuer for Gibraltar convoys from November 1943 till February 1944, when it shot down 2 enemy aircraft and damaged another aircraft.
While still operating from HMS Pursuer, on 3 April 1944, the squadron provided fighter cover for Operation Tungsten attack against the German Battleship Tirpitz in Kaa Fjord, northern Norway, and returned to Burscough in early May. Further brief operations were underataken from HMS Furious in the second half of the month.
Subsequent operations to Norway were carried out by squadron detachments from HMS Pursuer, HMS Puncher, HMS Trumpeter and HMS Premier till February 1945.
In March 1945 the squadron embarked on HMS Pursuer for Capetown, where it was re-equipped with 30 Hellcat IIs at Wingfield.
