CFS2,FS2000, FS8 and FS9 Halifax B.MkII S1A Bomber
==================================================
The Handley Page Halifax was one of the front-line, four-engine heavy bombers of the Royal Air Force during World War II. A contemporary of the famous Avro Lancaster, the Halifax remained in service until the end of the war, performing a variety of duties in addition to bombing.
The Halifax entered service with No. 35 Squadron RAF at Linton on Ouse in November 1940 and its first operational raid was against Le Havre on the night of March 11-12, 1941.
Introduction of 1,390 hp Merlin XX engines and a twin .303-in dorsal turret instead of waist guns resulted in the Mk II Series 1 Halifax.
The Mk 1 Series 1 (Special) achieved improved performance by removing the nose and dorsal turrets. The Mk II Series IA had a molded Perspex nose (the standard for future Halifax variants), a four-gun Defiant-type dorsal turret, Merlin 22 engines and larger tail surfaces which solved control deficiencies in the early Marks. A total of 1,966 Mk IT and 915 Mk V Halifaxes were built.
