4 December The aircraft manufacturer De Schelde flew the first prototype of the Netherlands Naval Aviation Service’s latest aircraft. The aircraft in question is the S.27 anti-submarine aircraft and torpedo bomber. The S.27 has been designed to replace the Koolhoven F.K.59 and also be capable of use aboard the larger aircraft carriers, requiring the four-seat aircraft to be as compact as possible. The internal torpedo bay is capable of carrying two torpedoes or four depth-charges. Six underwing ...
Yes, Brock is right, it is one of those Swiss 120mm guns. Belgium will disguise it has a haystack or something.
Nice pics of those fortifications. Where does the bottom-left come from? Looks vaguely post-war?
That's a wide spectrum but I can understand why it might be hard to pin down, so here are my surprising choices: 1 - from Argentina, the FMA I-03 AXP-1000. A single-seat jet fighter, not many single-engined jets at present can cover 1,000 miles, you lose twin-engine reliability but the Nene is pretty reliable anyway. Available now. Quoted Dimensions: 38/ 41.9/ 14.10/ 360 sq ft Engine: 1x 5,000lb Rolls-Royce RB.41 Nene III Max speed: 600mph at sea level Range: 1,000 miles with maximum external fu...

21 November The cruiser ARA Almirante Domecq Garcia completed her refit today. All four of the Belgrano Class cruisers have now been refitted with modernised anti-aircraft weapons and fire-control equipment, losing their catapults and aircraft in the process. 28 November The last two of the four landing craft ordered this year, ARA LC15 and ARA LC16, have commissioned with 2nd Landing Craft Flotilla at Comodoro Rivadavia today.
Have you any outline specifications? Are you looking for twin-engine, single-engine, jet, piston, armament choices?
Happy Birthday Wes! Hope you had a good day and got some nice presents, not just socks because those don't really count at any age as presents!

12 November N'Dofa received word of the raid on the prison at Hajjah, known by its inmates as 'Hell on Earth' due to its brutal conditions. A force of men from Ibrahim bin Yahya's clan attacked before dawn, the succeed in blowing a hole in the wall with explosives and a dozen inmates were freed. There had been a fierce firefight with losses on both sides, it didn't sound to D'Dofa like a sensible or profitable action but he was pleased that his financial aid was being put to good use. The newspa...
OK, they will be delivered with the guns ready fitted. It will be easier that way for both parties.
Having built such ships myself, I would say go for it. Two would be more than generous I think for the size of the Atlantean fleet and at least allows you to rotate their deployment. They would make a good back up carrier option too. Handling heavier jets might be an issue but generally unless you have a crystal ball then its hard to avoid that pitfall in the longer term. In any case even if you can't fly aircraft on and off by the end of the 1950s you still have a good tender and lots of parkin...
Thanks Brock, that was very helpful as I had lost track of who brought what exactly, my bad for not keeping good notes! Edited the above (realised I had forgotten to include the names for the FV300 series too!).
I have re-organised my FV series of fighting vehicles as follows: FV200 Series The FV200 series was designed by the Armoured Vehicle Research and Development Establishment in 1944 as the ‘Universal Tank’, an adaptable chassis that could form the basis of a new heavy tank and a series of heavy tracked armoured vehicles as self-propelled artillery and assorted support vehicles. The suspension was of the modified Horstmann type. FV201 Medium Gun Tank No.1 Mk.I Centurion Designed by the Armoured Veh...
