RAF Cottesmore, UK

RAF Cottesmore (ICAO EGXJ) is a former Royal Air Force station in Rutland, England, situated between Cottesmore and Market Overton.
The Stationed opened on 11 March 1938 and was used mainly for training, and the first squadrons were equipped with Vickers Wellesley aircraft, but soon converted to Fairey Battles. Later RAF Bomber Command took over the airfield, again as a training station, flying Handley Page Hampdens.
These units remained in residence until a few days before the outbreak of war in 1939 when they were sent to RAF Cranfield to serve as a pool providing replacements for combat losses. Their place at Cottesmore was taken by Nos. 106 and 185 Squadrons, moving in from RAF Thornaby with Hampdens.
However, with the outbreak of war, the aircraft and crews were sent to locations in the north and west, as enemy air attacks were expected over the southern half of England. As these never materialised, the Hampdens returned in the spring of 1940 and No. 185 Squadron became the Hampden operational training unit, No. 14 Operational Training Unit RAF.
RAF Cottesmore's Hampdens' first trespass into hostile airspace was a leaflet dropping operation over northern France. In October 1940, 106 Squadron moved to RAF Finningley while No. 14 OTU remained training crews for Bomber Command, its Hampdens and HP.53 Herefords being replaced by Vickers Wellingtons in 1942. Training continued for three years and three months until August 1943 when No. 14 OTU moved to RAF Market Harborough.
In early December 2009, it was announced the station would close due to funding cut-backs, in part to help pay for additional helicopters for British operations in Afghanistan.
In 2010, No. 4 Squadron RAF disbanded, with No. 20 Squadron RAF re-badging as No 4 (Reserve) Squadron.
The station became a satellite to RAF Wittering on 31 March 2011 with a civic parade and flypast to mark the disbandment of No 1 Sqn RAF, 800 NAS, 801 NAS and JFH.
In July 2011 Defence Secretary Liam Fox announced plans for it to be the airfield for one of five of the Army's Multi-Role Brigades. In April 2012 it was renamed Kendrew Barracks after Major General Sir Douglas Kendrew.

This is the Hellenic Naval Air Service (NAYTIKH AEROPORIKH YPHRESIA N.A.Y.)Ansaldo SVA. # 117 Based at TATOI Airfield and served the Hellenic Royal Navy (VASILIKO NAYTIKO) from 1921-1923. In Total 8 of these aircrafts were based there.
You will need the Freeware of Manuele Villas Ansaldo model SVA5 V1 zip for this that can be found at Simviation 2004 Vintage page.
The model has excellent air dynamics full moving parts full VC and 2D Panel.
I have tested the model in FSX Acceleration and found no problems.
There is also a SVA5 FIX update that corrects the wheels animation and the prop rotation and i think you should download that too.

CFS2
UH-1C AI Upgrade Pack For UH-1C AI
This upgrade pack for the UH-1C AI Huey removes the lower two of the
four MA-2 machineguns from the MDL file to facilitate the adding of
the wep-rocket_25 and wep_rocket_pod to the lower side of the pylons
via the new DP file. The result is the UH-1C AI with selectable payloads
of either GUNS ONLY or ROCKET PODS. These rocket pods enable the AI
to deliver multiple rockets to the target on a single pass, while
retaining two MA-2 machineguns. By Tom Sanford, Tango_Romeo Tom Sanford,

P-47D
Jug of "European Air War" textures only. This is a new texture
for the stock CFS1 P-47D. I have maid it from the Jug of "European
Air War" (another WW2 flight simulator), because I think this one
is better representative of the P-47D's "Razor Back" that fought over
Europe during the year 1943 and early 1944. Mathieu Bilquey. 178K
