This is a repaint for the payware First Class Simulations Vickers Wellington. The subject of this repaint is the Wellington Mk.IC R1443 from No.304 Polish Bomber Squadron. This aircraft was lost on 6 May 1941 after a bombing raid on Le Havre. It was the first operational loss of this squadron. The body from one of the crew members, Pilot Officer Feliks Sobieralski, washed ashore on 14 September 1941 in my home village, where he was buried and rests until today.
As the aircraft letter is unknown, I have chosen the L for Lost. To remember all those young men who left their country, after it was overrun by the Germans, to continue fighting for their and our freedom.
Personally I find the FCS Wellington a disappointing model. The model has disturbing faults and has several missing parts. The fact I disliked the original textures, actually made me do this repaint. Although not tested, these textures will most likely work in FSX as well. To use them I advise you to remove the shared textures from the FS9 version.
Credits go to Martin Wright for his dtxbmp tool, whithout which these textures wouldn't exist and to Peter Watkins who's replacement textures I used to find out what the original geodetic structure looked like.
This should be it.
