Repaint Portuguese PV-2 Harpoon available now

[Maarten -]

Hi there,

Available now from SOH's Add-ons Library is a repaint for The Harpoon Team's Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon featuring aircraft 4626 of the Força Aérea Portuguesa (Portuguese Air Force) (pv-2_fap_4626.zip). The Portuguese Air Force used the Harpoon from 1952 till 1974. Apart from maritime reconnaissance duties they were also intensively used from 1961 till 1974 for COIN-operations during the colonial war in a.o. Angola, Moçambique and Guinéa-Bissau.

Cheers,
Maarten

Did the RAF have any Harpoons. And where can I download this aircraft.

Tom,

You can get the Harpoon here in the FS 9 airplane section of the library. From what I can determine, the Lockheed Venturas served with several RAF Squadrons, the Coastal Command, New Zeeland AF and the Royal Australian AF.
