Spit Vb Tropical 'Aboukir' filter

[Talisman]

The 'Aboukir' filter rather than the 'Volkes' could be considered the filter more applicable to North Africa and the Spit Vb Tropical. I wonder if the next TF patch will give us the 'Aboukir' filter.

Extract as follows:

Many VB(trop)s were modified by 103 MU (Maintenance Unit-RAF depots in which factory fresh aircraft were brought up to service standards before being delivered to squadrons) at Aboukir, Egypt by replacing the Vokes filter with locally manufactured "Aboukir" filters, which were lighter and more streamlined.

Happy Landings,

Vokes was the initial dust filter used in 1941, Aboukir came later, in 1942...

Considering TF 5.0 is going to be primarily focused on 1941, if our new Theater happens to be in a location which requires a dust filter, it will be a Vokes. If we expand to 1942, and we are in a theater which requires a dust filter, no doubt the Aboukir will make an appearance.

Thanks

Thanks Buzz, my feeble attempt to get TF to give something away regarding the new map has failed

Happy landings,

That would make a nice nose-art, and a change from the shark's mouth.
