FS2004_AVRO 626 'Prefect'
By Nigel Richards and Team
The package comprises: The unfinished final 'beta' of Avro 626 'Prefect' the all-purpose trainer; in the markings of the last surviving example in RNZAF museum at Wigram. (One of four purchased in 1935)
*FS9 Only* but should port-over to X ; Please respect this and don't ask for a conversion as it's not my field of expertise.
Released as-is with permission from other team members; as sadly it appears Nigel is not in a position to complete it, it has the most recent .air and cfg files Magoo and I were working on when Nigel went internet quiet; the previous set are included as backups
NO paint kit...however, with a bit of trial and error paints for the Tutor could be adapted. This completes the series of Avro biplanes: 621, 626 and 646 created by Nigel.
Historical notes;
1) Most of the later build RAF Avro Tutors were actually built as 'Prefect' versions, but without enlarged fuel tank capacity and the 3rd cockpit faired over.
2) The 3rd cockpit was used for both navigation/radio training and gunnery training; due to aeroplane C of G limitations all 3 cockpits were never occupied at same time.
