HU Bristol Brigand(s) plus

[hobby]

I have just discovered a couple of Bristol Brigands for FS9. One in RAF Bomber Command colours Brigandb164bv01.zip, the other in Coastal Command colours Brigandb164tv01.zip, both at Flightsim.com by Edward Cook. It is very advisable to read the Pilots Notes and Checklist. You may think that the panel is a bit crude but it works!

'Google' searching for the Brigand I came across the enthralling biography of a crew member who began in Lancasters, went to Brigands, survived a terrible crash transferred to Sunderlands and finally finished his service at Thorney Island on Varsity a/c. Later 1957 he quialified as a civilian Radio Officer (!!!!!!) and worked for BOAC. This is the website address for his biography. Set aside a lot of time to read, and re-read, this text, it is really good with lots of flying details.

You might want to add Ted Cook's website to your list:
http://www.tedcook.btinternet.co.uk
He has produced a fair number of interesting British types and all his aeroplanes are downloadable from there.

Cheers,
