Culley's Camel

[baldy]

I've just uploaded the package which converts Gary Aumaugher's Sopwith Camel to the 2F1 Camel used by Lt S D Culley to shoot down the last Zeppelin of the Great War.

Included in the pack are files for the Lewis guns and a new cowling plus a new panel ( unfortunately I couldn't do much with the vc panel )

Baldy,
A very welcome addition. Thank you! Lt. Culley's tail feathers look very smart.

The most common gun configuration for RNAS Sopwith 2F1 Camel was one wing-mounted Lewis gun and one nose-mounted Vickers gun. Also, Camels were able to carry light bombs. This was the configuration used for the famous raid on Tondern Zeppelin base.

Here is the section of the DP I modified to emulate this. You will need Oldwheat's WW1 machine gun: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=17&id=11451
