Nice shots. Possible repaint (XH168), Bruce??

How are you removing the Panel Selection arrow in the upper left corner? Cropping, or is there a way to hide it for a screenshot??

Hiya Guys, cheers for the comments,


WH,to remove the arrow, it's a "panel" in it's self so all you have to right click on it and then select "close panel". or to permanently remove from the screen but not the panel options, in the panel.cfg edit the following

From
[Window13]
file=PUP13_Panel_Selector_Arrow.bmp
size_mm=31,38
window_size= 0.025, 0.04
window_pos= 0.0, 0.02
position=7
visible=1 <-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ident=1400
no_luminous=1
zorder=100
type=special
//nomenu=1

gauge00=canberra!Panel_Selector_Arrow, 0,0,31,38





To
[Window13]
file=PUP13_Panel_Selector_Arrow.bmp
size_mm=31,38
window_size= 0.025, 0.04
window_pos= 0.0, 0.02
position=7
visible=0 <-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1982 so was this Chilean or RAF??????????

Chilean as I recall. The three aircraft, RAF serials XH-166, XH-167 and XH-173, became FACH serials 341, 342 and 343 respectively – 342 was subsequently lost in a crash and the other two aircraft have now retired to the Aeronautics Museum in Santiago.

It is still a matter of conjecture whether RAF Canberra PR9s were involved in the 1982 Falklands conflict. Some reports have claimed that up to seven PR9s were flown from Wyton to Belize in mid-Apr 82, where they were repainted in Chilean Air Force markings before being flown onto Punta Arenas, the Chilean Air Force base at the extreme end of South America. From Punta Arenas RAF crews allegedly flew the PR9s over mainland Argentina and the South Atlantic, gathering valuable intelligence about the Argentinean forces. It is even rumoured that four of the even older PR7s from 100 Sqn might also have operated from Chile during the conflict. Another unconfirmed rumour is that two RAF Hercules C1s (XV192 and XV292), painted in Chilean Air Force markings, also operated from Punta Arenas during the conflict, presumably to support the RAF detachment; these aircraft were apparently seen after the conflict at RAF Lyneham, still bearing faint traces of Chilean markings.

Spookily enough Punta Arenas was where the burnt out wreck of the Seaking mk4 belonging to 846 NAS was found.

Nice one Bruce smile.gif That's right , I forgot the cheeky sneaky's of the Falklands war and the getting in the back door and clandestine ops and the sneaky SAS ... another war were Canberra's were used on both sides in one way or another.
