A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military skins - World War II
Description: This package contains alternative textures for the ex-donationware P-51C Malcolm hood version (now freeware), which can be found in the Sim-Outhouse libary. Although the textures are done for the FS9 version, they will work on the more or less identical CFS2 version as well. The textures are based on the paintkit by David Green.
These textures show the Mustang III as flown by Flt Thomas Henry Drinkwater in March-February 1944. Drinkwater flew with 19 Squadron, until he was promoted and appointed as squadronleader of 122 Squadron in April 1944. On the 18th of May 1944 he failed to return from an armed reconnaisance mission over occupied France. He was shot by flak, flying this aircraft (FZ164) over the French town of Vouvray near Tours and crashed into a bridge. His aircraft carried the name of his bride "Wilf", which was short for Winifred.
The RAF Mustangs carried the same white identification marks as their American colleagues. These were applied to make the Mustangs easier to identify and to avoid confusion with square winged German fighters like the early Bf109s and the FW190.
I want to thank the Anthony "Gramps" Sullenger and the rest of the FDG2 team for creating this model and donating it to the Sim-Outhouse. And of course Martin Wright for his simple but indispensable graphic tools, as without his dtx1 bitmap manipulator these textures simply wouldn't be there.
Enjoy,Huub
