FSX Hunting Percival Pembroke released!

Hi Guys,
Sorry about the two texture file errors. I have corrected and uploaded an update to BritSim and FlightSim.com. Future paints will be correct. Thanks for your upload efforts here Rob!
To answer a couple of points - yes the Danish civil paint will be OY-AVA and I will attempt the Belgian scheme once I have details of all the relevant stencil markings!
On that note, I have not issued the RAF paints yet because I do not have sufficient detailed pics of the RAF stencil markings - I am in fact going to visit RAF Cosford on Saturday 10th to take some detailed pics of their example.

cheers, Peter W

Many thanks! Our Pembroke got herself even into a stamp.

At the risk of being labelled a pedant (!) that is actually a Survey Prince, not a Pembroke. The Princes are readily identified by their greater wingspan, which also altered their flight dynamics. The Survey Prince had a glazed nose and hinged "trap doors" in the floor for the vertical survey cameras (typically 9x9" large format). The Sea Prince carried a radar and had hardpoints on the wings for practice sonobouys, for Observer training.

Which reminds me Rob, will you also be making Princes, for instance the Sea Prince (with dropable sonobouys via TacPack) and Survey Prince? How about the President too (VIP transport)? PM for details if needed.

All the best

Hi Andy,
I think you will find that the Prince(Survey and Sea) had a wingspan of 56 feet and the Pembroke had 64 feet 6 inches. The two Finnish aircraft were Pembroke C53's with a glass nose, which is why I will not be painting one! I believe Rob intends to do a short-winged version, so I will be able to paint Sea Prince T1/C2 and civil Princes. Whether we can persuade Rob to make a short-nosed Prince is in the lap of the Gods! Would be nice, though.

cheers, Peter W:ernaehrung004:
 
Doh, I clearly got the wingspans the wrong way round! :dizzy: The point still stands regarding differing dynamics tho.

Regarding the stamp, good point, the Fins had C53s, not Survey Princes. Come to think of it Survey Princes also had more glazing in the nose, more like a bomber nose! It was the doors under the fuselage that made me think of the Survey Prince. I guess all C (and PR) models destined for aerial survey had the camera doors from the Survey Prince?
 
Work in progress OY-AVA. Now have the RAF stencil info following my visit to RAF Cosford so will crack on with those RAF paints.
Cheers, Peter W:ernaehrung004:

They look great Peter! Where can we download the paint kit? I can't seem to find it?

Hi there. Rob gave me his basic psd texture files to work with when he first started the Pembroke. Drop him an email on his site and ask him for a copy. Ii would not be appropriate for me to pass out a copy of mine.
Cheers, Peter

PS Both paints are now up on FlightSim.com

Latest RAF paint - WV733 as when used by HQ Flying Training Command Communications Flight, based at RAF White Waltham. I flew as a passenger in this aircraft in July 1966 from White Waltham to Bovingdon via Northolt when I was in the ATC No 2F Watford Squadron. WV733 was delivered to Bovingdon for a Service.

cheers, Peter W
