Thanks! Really bad weather for a first test flight though!
Bought two FsX Carenado aircraft during these Christmas sales, and I really like 'em. I have two old Fs9 aircraft and it's amazing to see the progress they've made.
Here's the other one:
I bought myself an x-mas present today, ive had the Mig-17 for a few years now and is still one of my favorite's but im really liking the Bear/Flight 1 Mig-15, ive only been on a few flights so far but im well pleased with my purchase,
In an attempt to modernise their Air Force the Belgians bought 20 Hawker Hurricanes in 1938 and obtained a licence to build another 80. By September 1939 only 15 had been delivered. It is unclear whether the last 5 have ever been delivered. In May 1940 only 2 licence built aircraft were finished, due to the fact that the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine weren’t delivered by the British. When the Germans invaded the Low Countries in May 1940 only 11 Hurricane fighter were operational.
All Belgian Hurricanes were operated by Squadron 2/I/2Ae (Chardon/Thistle), commanded by Capt. Marcel Charlier and were based at Schaffen near Diest. Of the 11 operational aircraft, only three could escape destruction during the Luftwaffe attack in the early hours of May 10th, 1940. Unfortunately these three remaining Hurricanes were also destroyed in the strafing of Le Cuset one day later.
The aircraft H-32 was delivered in June 1939 and was originally produced for the RAF as L2044 or L1944. It was one of the operational planes destroyed during the attack at Schaffen.
