LOL This reminds me. I downloaded it but forgot to check it out. Stay tuned to this station, I'll try converting it for CFS2 while I'm about it.

PS. To keep you amused in the meantime, does the front fuselage of the Fw 190 remind you of anything & if so, what?

Hey  Mr. Bones:
I didn't forget your kind remarks. I am not much of a photographer, it seems the harder I try, the worse they come out.  Once in a while I get lucky, glad you liked it.

OK, that was too easy as Fido's shot shows. Sir Sidney Camm himself credited Kurt Tank for giving him the idea.

I think you're worng, yes it does look like a Sea Fury but,  IMHO it looks more like a short nosed Blackburn Firebrand T.F.MkIV, similar engine similar cowl


                 Fido ??? ???

P.S. You are right, the Firebrand  MkII first flew in May of '43
  the Mk IV did not fly untill May '45, while the Tempest II flew first in late June '43 and used the Bristol Centaurus V, the Firebrand MkII used the Napier Sabre III, while the MkIV used the Bristol Centaurus IX

Maybe Fido. Other aircraft used the principle but Kurt Tank was the first to use it successfully on a fighter. I'm only going by what I read in Sidney Camm's biography. He first used the idea himself on the Tempest II.

Hi Fido

Seeing this new one encouraged me to put my 'oldish' payware one into FS9. I have uploaded some pics to the payware section. Let me know what you think.
