CFS1 Shorts 184
The Shorts 184 was first flown in 1915 complete with a 14" torpedo weighing some 900lbs. The aircraft was powered by a 225hp Sunbeam Mohawk engine although when it went into production there were various other engine used as well. These were apart from the Sunbeam Mohawk, were Sunbeam Maori mks I, II and III up to 260hp, Sunbeam Gurkha of 240hp and a Renault of 240hp (this engine was a copy of a captured Mercedes and was often referred to as the Renault-Mercedes). The last engine was well liked by the 184 pilots as it was slow revving and above all more reliable than the Sunbeams. Some aircraft were built with one engine and fitted with another later on in life so standardisation was something not bothered with.
Even though the 184 was designed to be a torpedo bomber it rarely carried torpedoes, mainly because if you carried a torpedo you didn't carry a gunner. There were examples of successful torpedo attacks but the usual offensive load was 4 X 65lb bombs or 4 X 100lb bombs. The 184 was used as a patrol and an anti-submarine attack aircraft and possibly did sink a U-boat, it definitely damaged many. The main problem being the speed of the 184, the pilot was very lucky if he could get 70mph out of his aircraft, this gave the U-boat Captain ample time to submerge and elude his stalker. The reliability of the engines also played a part in the non-successes as there were several pilots and gunners captured by the U-boat crews when the aircraft engine failed at a most important time.
The aircraft flies well on my PC, even though it is very sluggish.
Please enjoy this aircraft

CFS1 Miles M20
The Miles M20 was originally designed as an emergency fighter for production during the Battle of Britain. The idea being to use non essential tradesmen from the furniture and cabinet making trade. This wouldn't make any demands on the overstretched aircraft industry.
The prototype flew within 65 days of the first drawing being started on the 15th September 1940. The M20 was armed with eight 0.303 browning machine guns although it was possible to fit twelve. The feared shortage of fighters for the RAF never materialised so the M20 never went into production.
Please enjoy a most unusual aircraft.

The Westland Wapiti - CFS1
The Westland Wapiti was a two-seat general-purpose biplane and as requested by the Air Ministry, incorporated in its design, several de Havilland D.H.9A component parts. The prototype Wapiti first flew in March 1927 and was awarded an initial order of 25 production Mk I included one that specially modified with a more luxurious rear cockpit for the Prince of Wales to fly in.
Mk I was powered by a 425hp Bristol Jupiter VI engine, but subsequent Mk II and Mk IIA had 450hp Jupiter VI and 475hp Jupiter VIIIF or similar engines. There were a small number of lengthened Wapiti Mk V and some unarmed Mk VI trainers which brought the total produced for the Royal Air Force to 501. The Westland Wapiti also served the Air Forces of Australia, South Africa (where Wapitis were built under licence), Canada, India and China.
