The Blackburn B-20 was a Prototype twin-engine Flying Boat with a retracting hull, first flying in early 1940. The prototype was lost to rudder failure, killing three crew, after which the development of the aircraft ceased. This package is an FSX native update of the FS2004 model designed by Ted Cook.
Beaching gear, L'Azur hull numerical simulation added, floats on FSX float extend/retract.
Smooth FPS, fast and fun.

Paul Clawson's Short Shetland, update V.1 2020, a set of improved (piglet) aircrew, dialed in material settings.
dabbed some paint, improved the look of the painted on portholes.
l'Azur seaplane numerical hull simulation installed. Sound alised to default FSX DC-3. A sound file with more grunt
is really required. Milton's Ventura, fer instance, though a sleeve-valve engine sound set would be better.
Only tested in FSX, though P3D compatability is fine.
It's big, it's fast, smooth FPS and loads of fun.

The Felixstowe F2A Flying Boat was developed from the Curtiss H12 ‘Large America’, using basically the same wing and tail unit, but a completely new fuselage designed by Lieutenant Commander John Porte of the Seaplane Experimental Station at Felixstowe in England. Together with a slightly larger version, the F3, it was used in some numbers for patrol work, mainly over the North Sea, in 1917-18. The F2A continued in service in the 1920’s until replaced with Supermarine Southampton's. FSX native re-issue of this classic By Jens B. Kristensen.

Short S.25 Sunderland package for FSX.
Model from CFS3/FS9 by Ted Kaniuka, Steve 'Sdbolt', and Shessi.
FSX native materials and tags, nice paintwork, L'Azur Seaplane performance mod. It's not a study level model,it is simple, but looks great, and is super FPS slippery; very important when schvitz-hawking a large convoy.
Sunderland I, III and IIIA models, or, close enough. Me likee most beaucoup!
