610 Squadron Spitfire Mk XIV
« on: July 21, 2014, 04:01:08 PM »
I noticed from the skins admin page that I haven't done a Spit 14 skin since 2006 and so decided to remedy that.

This is the aircraft of Squadron Leader Richard Newbury, CO of 610 Squadron who were one of the first to receive the Mk XIV in January 1944. In June the squadron was moved to West Malling to help deal with the threat from V-1 flying bombs. Before transferring across the channel in September they destroyed 50 V-1s with S/L Newbury claiming eight of these plus two shared.

As this aircraft was an early Mk XIV it had 0.303 inch guns rather than the 0.5 inch setup the AH one has. So I have added 0.303 gun bays and gun port covers to reflect this.

Very nice!  :aok
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
