Fishing Fleet facility

Home for tea and tiffin!
Now I am sure I remember there being a fishing fleet facility created, but I cannot find it. It would be a useful peice of astmosphere for the Bay. There are numerous accounts of pilots of both sides being picked up by French/Spanish fishermen. Am I imagining it?

Hi Beau,

I rember a fishing fleet facilty as well, I went looking through my downloads and the only one I could find is one made by Pilotsden called It_fishing_fleet, it places a group of barges together to represent a fishing fleet.
I have copied the text in here for you, paste it into an existing xml file save it as what you like, and see if it does what your looking for, you could even substitute ship names for a differant model.

Any of the gmax wizards able to put together a 'Grimsby' trawler.

The fishing fleet continued to go to sea during the war and these unarmed vessels were frequently used as target practice by passing German pilots so much so that east coast fighter squadrons were frequently tasked with patrols over the fishing fleet.

A number were also requisitioned and used as mine sweepers in estuaries and harbour approaches as well as boom defence vessels and, in the early days of radar detection, as advance air observer pickets.
 
Thank you gentlemen. I had thought the old noggin was playing tricks (again). Thanks Rob for those lines, they'll come in useful.
