    Defiant 141 SQD

    http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php/...efiant-141-sqd



    141 Squadron based at West Malling in Kent, received orders to send 12 of its Boulton Paul Defiant turret-fighters to Hawkinge early on 19th July 1940. At around 12:30 hours a scramble was conducted for a patrol 20 miles south of Folkestone at just 5,000 feet! However, only nine crews got into the air owing to three of the RAF fighters becoming unserviceable on start-up. The squadron had not yet been in combat with their aircraft.

    Less than 30 minutes later Hawkinge witnessed what was left of the squadron return, when just two out of the nine Defiants landed intact after escaping ruthless 'Schwarms' of Messerschmitt Me109's from Jagdgeschwader 51 who had pounced on them over the Channel. Four pilots and six gunners were either dead or missing with others wounded.

    One of the five Defiants that did not return was crewed by 22 years old Flight Lieutenant Ian David Grahame Donald and his air-gunner, Pilot Officer Arthur Charles Hamilton, aged 28 and from North Harrow in Middlesex.

    When the nine Defiants were attacked by the Messerschmitts, all of the RAF machines were hit and two of them immediately tumbled away down towards the sea, their crews never to be seen again. Donald and Hamilton in Defiant L7009 (HT-W) adorned with a painted cockerel emblem and the name 'Cock o' the North', were fighting for their lives in an aircraft ablaze from nose to tail; in a desperate attempt to escape the enemy and return to Hawkinge, they dived down towards the sea. Approaching Dover the ailing RAF fighter struggled for height and for reasons not known, Hamilton managed to extricate himself from the confines of his turret and bale out, but he sadly never survived his descent into the sea.

    Ok this is Non BOB


    Avro Anson A4-32 of 6 Squadron RAAF left Richmond airfield at 12:40 pm on Friday 28 April 1939 on a flight that was expected to last less than 3 hours. This was part of an Air Navigation course they were being trained in. The particular exercise for this flight was a wind finding direction course over the sea. The weather was clear and fine and weather conditions in no way contributed to the crash which ultimately happened.

    After leaving Richmond Airfield the Avro Anson was flown out to sea in the vicinity of Smith Head, Sydney. The crew maintained constant radio communication with the airfield and the flight proceeded without incident until approximately 3:30pm. At 3:27pm a radio message was received from the aircraft to the effect that the aerial was being reeled in preparatory to landing. At that time the aircraft was within a few miles of the airfield and within a few minutes of landing. This was the last message received from the aircraft.

    At 3:30pm Avro Anson A4-32 crashed into the ground. There were several eye witnesses. It would appear the aircraft was flying in normal level flight at about 1,000 feet when eye witnesses heard some spluttering from the engines along with the noises of backfiring and puffs of smoke were seen coming from the aircraft.

    The nose of the Avro Anson dropped to an angle of 30 degrees and it started to lose height. Eye witnesses then indicated they could hardly hear the noise of the engines but they then made a sudden roaring noise and the nose pulled up again.. But then it went into a steeper dive and crashed directly into the ground with its engines roaring.

    The following four crew members of Avro Anson A4-32 were killed instantly:-

    Pilot Officer Maxwell Leonard Hickson (Navigator)
    Pilot Officer Lloyd George Harness (Pilot)
    Aircraftman Raymond Duncan Knight (Wireless Operator)
    Aircraftman Harrie Clarke (Fitter Armourer)

    John Freeborns Spitfire.

    Hurricane Mk I P3120 RF-A of No 303 'Polish' Sqn, flown by Flg Off Z K Henneberg, September 1940

    Available from Airwarfare.com

    http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php?...tid=53&cid=125





    No. 303 (Polish) Squadron was formed on 2 August 1940 at RAF Northolt, and became operational on 31 August. Its initial cadre was 13 Officer and 8 NCO pilots and 135 Polish ground staff. At the outset, serving RAF officers were appointed to serve as CO (S/L RG Kellett) and Flight Commanders (F/L JA Kent and F/L AS Forbes) alongside their Polish compatriots, as the Polish pilots were unfamiliar with RAF Fighter Command language, procedures and training.

    On 31 August, the squadron was scrambled in the late afternoon on its first operational sortie. In a dogfight over Kent, 'A ' Flight claimed four confirmed and two probable victories over Messerschmitt Bf 109, possibly of LG 2. Claimants were are Kellet, F/O. Henneberg, P/O Feric and Sgt. Karubin.

    Although the number of Battle of Britain claims was overestimated (as with virtually all fighter units), No. 303 Squadron was one of top fighter units in the battle and the best Hurricane-equipped one.

    According to historian John Alcorn, 44 victories are positively verified, making 303 Squadron the fourth highest scoring squadron of the battle, after Squadron Nos. 603 AuxAF (57.8 verified kills), 609 AuxAF (48 verified kills) and 41 (45.33 verified kills), which all flew Spitfires.[5] It was also had the highest kill-to-loss ratio; of 2.8:1. However, J. Alcorn was not able to attribute 30 aircraft shot down to any particular unit, and according to Jerzy Cynk and other Polish historians, the actual number of victories for 303 Squadron was about 5560.[5] According to Polish historian Jacek Kutzner the verified number of kills of 303 Squadron is around 58.8, which would still place it above all other squadrons regarding verified kills.

    This is presented by Kutzner's chart, which shows Polish confirmed kills ,confirmed kills of all Allied squadrons, including Polish and real German losses on each day when 303 Squadron was involved in air combats

    The name chosen by the squadron was in honour of the famous Polish Kosciuszko Squadron which fought during the Polish-Soviet War in 1920. No. 303 Squadron was also linked to the original Kosciuszko Escadrille through personnel that had served in the squadron. Later, further air force units from the aforementioned unit were renamed the 7th, 121st and 111th Escadrilles of the Polish Air Force.

    Sgt. Tadeusz Anduszków P-5125 P.A.F 303 SQD


    http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php?...=126&Itemid=53



    Shot down whilst on patrol over Kent, another 303 squadron Hurricane was also lost this day, F/O. Ludwig Witold Paszkiewicz in L1696 RF-T, also killed. Sgt. Tadeusz Anduszków was also shot down only 12 days previously on the 15th September by Me109 over Dartford when he baled out safely. (Flying Hurricane P3939)


    The Fiat G.50


    http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php?...tid=37&cid=129



    http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php?...tid=37&cid=130



    A Fiat G.50bis of20 Gruppo, 51 Stormo based at Ursel, Belgium, in October 1940. Lack of range and poor armament severely restricted the type's participation in the Battle of Britain.

    Mussolini led Italy into WW2 on 10th/11th June 1940. Italy posed a very real threat to British interests in the Mediterranean, but for reasons of propaganda (following RAF raids on the Caproni and Fiat factories on mainland Italy) Mussolini was particularly eager to join the assault on Britain itself. In July, he offered units of the Regia Aeronautica for service in the Battle of Britain, and was politely refused by Hitler and Goering. However, after repeated requests, Goering eventually agreed to the participation of a Corpo Aereo Italiano in mid-September.

    A rework and clean up of the Me110 "Sharkmouth" skin that comes with COD.

    Enjoy.

    Are any of these excellent skins still available since airwarfare.com is closed and MFT doesn't have them?
    I especially like Tuckbox!

    Re: Shado's Skins

    This issue is more if Shadow is around AND wishes to spend the time uploading the skins. I know many skinners seem to have fallen out of love with it all. Whether thats due to moving away from the game or feeling taken for granted as a result of the lack of thanks or acknowledgment of their hard work or simply seeing their work paraded with minor alterations as someone elses "original" work or a bit of it all i dont know.

    All id say is that if Shadow does upload his wonderful skins once more, anyone who uses them should show their appreciation by way of a quick "thanks"

    Regards

    Re: Shado's Skins

    I see that Shado uploaded them to Airwarfare. We closed Airwarfare down due to lack of interest at those forums. Seems ATAG got all the CLoD traffic for some reason.
    When we shut down Airwarfare we uploaded all of the files to M4T but we combined things due to time constraints. Shado's skins are most likely in this download at M4T.

    Airwarfare Skins Archive (CLoD): http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...details&id=254
    220 skins from the airwarfare.com IL-2 Cliffs Of Dover website.

    All files as originally uploaded by their authors. All files appeared on airwarfare.com with permission from the original authors and have been archived here intact.

    So if you run across an Airwarfare link for CLoD check out M4T's CLoD downloads section and it is most likely there but it will have been combined with other like type things.

    Hope you didn't mind - I tried to make it clear it wasn't my work.

    Thanks for the inspiration to try skinning and for all your work - I spend more time skinning for my BOS squad now than I do playing the game.
