824 NAS Sea Hurricane
« on: January 09, 2015, 04:41:42 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This Sea Hurricane named "Libby" was operated by 824 NAS from HMS Striker in 1944. The real aircraft was a Mk IIC but this is considered an acceptable substitution for our Mk IC.

There is something stunning about that specific grey and green combination. I hope you will be producing more skins from this service for the game.

I am planning to skin a Hurricane Mk I in this scheme some time. The FAA flew them off of catapult-equipped merchant ships before escort carriers were available in numbers. After intercepting or chasing off LW aircraft shadowing the convoy, the pilot had to ditch or bail when his fuel ran out. As it had no hook fitted it works better as a skin on the Hurri I than the Sea Hurri.

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!

The Sea Hurricane was added when the other Hurricane models were updated at the end of 2012. They also added the IIA and IIB armament options to the Mk IIC.
