All too often the roles of the Aussie 77 Squadron and South African squadrons are largely overlooked in the Korean War.  Polar Lion has done some new 77 Squadron skins for the F3, F8 and P-51.  Thanks, John.  Cool

most welcome.

one little note:
the mustang was uploaded twice. my computer decided that it had to backup on the first attempt. than myself thinking that it was lost sent it again. so it is the exact same file (different name due to the double upload)

Sorry about that  Embarrassed

i have enclosed a biography titled Lou Spence. not my own work i'm afraid (all referances and credit included) but very informative. Lou Spence recieved the DFC (Distinguished Flying Cross) and a post humonous oak leaf for the DFC. Was the second member of the No 77 Squadron to lose his life in the Korean War.

Big SALUTE to all my Aussie friends and a Big THANK YOU to all the Veterans (both Australian and American) for all that you did, have done, and are doing.

i have made new repaint textures for the FoxFour KWP51D SAAF AI mustang. 

again they are of the No77 Squadron. A68-705 a plane which had a malfunction and the pilot had to bailout. 

not sure how i'm going to release this. it will probly go with the mission i'm doing for them. if you want a copy to look at it just let me know by PM or email. i'll try to get a screan shot tonite.

you know, that FoxFour AI plane has more loadouts than the Alpha_TR_P51D. i'm going to have to fix that.

ok here is a quick pic of the KW P51d SAAF repaint.
it will now be of the RAAF No 77 Squadron.

I tried fixing he head of the pilot but not sure where the textures are. its not the face thats in the textures. oh well its an AI at any rate.

the foreground and background is my Alpha_TR_P51D repaint. they all look good together i think.

Looking pretty spiffy!  Wink

But what do the SAs think?  I know, I know, they're good fellas and don't mind lending you their planes.  Grin
