British Bomber Command

[Medvedya]

Not to mention all their efforts during the Berlin airlift - carring sacks of coal in an Avro York is never going to win awards for glamour, but to a West Berliner it looked pretty darn good.

That's also true, Med.

Im more of a bombers and transports kinda guy...Ive always prefered big multi-engined a/c anyway. My FS2004 collection includes the Manchester and Whitley, and a Wellesley too 8) I actually prefer flying those to flying the fighters in PF and Strike Fighters:Gold

good man, you should get the wings of power extention for FS2004, you get the lanc, grand slam lanc, a couple of B-17s, a B-29, he-177 i think, he-162 an one or two others, looks good but you obviously can't drop bombs, you can open the bomb bay doors though.........

Ive just d/l'ed Dave Garwoods Lanc B.III, by all accounts its far better than the WoP version and it's FREE! All my a/c are freeware, and thier brilliant. For those interested, heres some links to good FS2004 freeware - mainly British, 1940s - 1960s 8)

http://www.cbfsim.co.uk/ - For BAC 1-11, VC10 (including the C1K tanker), Trident, Hunter, Anson and Comet 4

http://www.pavaservices.com/cfs/ - For Wellesley, Skua, Battle, Defiant and a range of CFS2 add-ons.

http://www.avsim.com/ - Put 'Ted Cook' into the search engine and you should get a range of this chaps Bomber Command Classics - Stirling, Manchester, Whitley and Brigand are particularly good, he does a Lincoln as well. Also on this site are the AW.27 ensign, a BOAC airliner adopted by the RAF as a transport, and several V-bomber packages. The Ensign is brilliant, I havent installed the V-bombers yet but they are reportedly pretty good!
