Construction number 253 was built in 1953 as 130076 for the US Navy, and was then transferred to the Aeronavale as 76 under the Military Aid Program. This particular aircraft is believed to have served with Escadrille 23.S, and, powered by a Continental R-575-42 engine, the HUP-2 was capable of vertical replenishment, casevac, rescue and plane guard duties. 76 served with the French Navy until struck off charge 31st October 1964. Originally sold in 1971 to a civilian operator, 76 was bought by D. B. Baris in 1973 and now proudly sits on a roundabout at Charloise Lagedijk 938 in Rotterdam South. An actual veteran of the Aeronavale, it is hoped that this aircraft could be exchanged for the one hanging in the Musee de l’Air at Le Bourget, as that example, despite its colour scheme, never served with the French Navy. Painted on to Jim Jacobson’s model, modified by both LLS and Michael Pook, this aircraft is delight to fly and ideal for pottering around some Caribbean islands. Enjoy

Sikorsky S-61N 61-824 was delivered new to Bristow Helicopters as G-BHOF on 27th February 1980. After leaving Bristows, she became G-LAWS for Laws Helicopters until July 1999, going firstly to Air Harrods, and then to Elite Helicopters as G-VIPZ, still in the scheme depicted here. Sold to the US State Department as N824WA in January 2011, she then became N627CK with Croman Helicopters in September 2016. Repainted on to Dave Hardcastle's excellent S-61N model, this reflects G-LAWS high gloss black and gold colour scheme. I know the model will work in FS2004, but whether or not the textures will, I do not know. Enjoy.

This is a repaint of the Milviz MD530F in the livery of the 1973 movie, "Birds of Prey"

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police livery for the Nemeth Design MD500E. The CFG file has been updated to classify this as the MD530F to reflect the real-world aircraft it's based on.

Simon Russell, known to some of you as Sirrus, has sent me these textures for the Virtavia Boeing Vertol CH-46, available here. Delivered in 1965 as a CH-113A Voyageur for the Canadian Army, 11315 was re-allocated to the Royal Canadian Air Force and modified to be reclassified as a CH-113 Labrador. This involved the addition of a hoist, inflatable sponsons and a radar nose. The model does not show the last two of these items. 11315 served with 424 Squadron, 413 Squadron and then 103 Rescue Unit before returning to 424 Squadron in 1995. After 40 years of service, the aircraft was retired to the National Air Force Museum of Canada in the colours it wore with 424 Squadron. The textures may also work in FS9 and, despite a screenshot showing the contrary, this model does not float!
