Where did you get the scenery for Lossiemouth and Kinloss? I have the modern Lossiemouth but not the version with buccaneers etc...

About a year ago, I started messing around with scenery creation, nothing fancy, just "simple" stuff. I used an existing MSFS scenery of both stations as a basis, and then added some buildings that were already on my hard drive from existing scenery as well. Then I converted some of the older FSX static aircraft to add as static models. I would love to share my work, but since it simply mixed and matched the existing work of other people, I would not have the right to do so. I can really only use it for personal use and screenshots, hoping that other people might be inspired to create "official" versions of these iconic stations.
 
About 3-4 years ago the real Spitfire Mk.IXc ML417, at the time an older restoration, was shipped from the US to the UK, arriving at Aircraft Restoration Company at Duxford, where over the past few years it has undergone a complete overhaul/restoration. It just emerged in the public eye for the first time last week, renewed, and it should be flight-tested very soon by John Romain (with a likely goal to have it at Flying Legends next month). It now features an ever-more accurate paint scheme, the late/tall rudder has been replaced with the early/short rudder as it originally had during the war, and it has gone from having clipped-wings to having full-length wingtips.

Here are some screenshots from an air test with ML417, out of Duxford, using a repaint made by Brad617 a couple years ago, depicting the aircraft as it looked prior to its latest restoration.













 
Great screenshots, Noddy!

Richard, is that a new repaint of yours for Mike's P-40, or is my old one? I was just going through files the other day and noticed I still have all of the repaints I did and was working on for the FSX version, still in their layered files. So, I was thinking of seeing about recompiling and releasing them for the MSFS version, if they still fit.

John, yes it’s a wip that I am trying to finalize for the P40N Flight Replicas (Mike). I have a good documentation about the Burma Banshees P40s. I would like to do some of their liveries.
