• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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

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

B-34B

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

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?
