just fooling around

Please sir, fool around like that all you want! (I also have a wish list for you to fool around with, should you ever get tired :biggrin-new:)
 
At a loss as to what this aircraft is. If you get board some Russian aircraft-(much needed) would be nice too. Have always enjoyed your wonderful work. You're one of the best of the best ! no kidding.......
 
will be awhile

Just want to thank Milton Shupe :very_drunk: for lending me this model to convert to CFS3. Will make a Ventura (thanks to Steve for Hudson related parts :applause: ) too for the ETO/PTO folks. The PV1 was used as a nightfigher in the PTO. :mixed-smiley-010:
 
This is great news! Thanks to Milton for sharing and big thanks to Ted for taking this on.
I absolutely loved Milton's Beech 18 that was made available to us, I believe, by Clive.

LOTS of uses, Ted. Could be a LOT of playin' around.

B-34
US designation for the Model 137 (with 2000hp R-2800-31 engines) bought for the Royal Air Force, 200 built and designated the Ventura IIA by the British.

B-34A
Former Royal Air Force Venturas returned to USAAF under a reverse lend-lease.

B-34B
B-34As converted as navigation trainers.

B-37
Lockheed Model 437 for the USAAF (with 1700hp R-2600-13 engines), only 18 out of an order of 550 built for armed observation. Originally designated the O-56, it was later designated the RB-37.

PV-1
United States Navy version of the B-34; 1,600 built. A total of 388 were delivered to the Royal Air Force as the Ventura GR.V, others to the RAAF, RNZAF and SAAF.

PV-1P
Designation for PV-1s fitted with a camera installation.

PV-2 Harpoon
Updated model with larger fin and wing area; 470 built.

PV-2C
Modified version of the PV-2 used for training; 30 built.

PV-2D
Same as PV-2 but with eight 0.5in nose guns; 35 built.

PV-2T

PV-3
Twenty-seven former RAF Ventura IIs requisitioned by the USN.

Ventura I
R-2800-S1A4-G powered variant for the Royal Air Force; 188 built, 30 to the RCAF and some to the SAAF, later re-designated the Ventura GR.I.

Ventura II

Ventura IIA

Of course, not all are to be expected. This a much-appreciated and welcomed addition to the CFS3 family.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the last of the RAF light/medium daylight bombers, no?
