Plane Request Miles Falcon Six
#1

The M.3C Falcon Six was a four seater with dual controls, a variant of the 1934 Miles M3. It was designed as a private use civilian aircraft or a Liason/Reccon military aircraft. However in 1937 agents from the Vasco Goverment aquiered one to fight the facist threat, they equiped the Falcon with bombs under the center section and sent it off to do ground attack missions. When the Northern Front fell the Falcon managed to escape via France to central Spain and served as a liason aircraft on the Spanish Republican Airforce. During WW2 there were Falcons serving on the RAF and Fleet Air Arm acting as Liason aircraft until 1941. I know it will be very hard to do this plane because of the lack of blueprints and pictures showing the insides of the plane, but its worth the effort.

Very interesting mod! You have a fan here! Smile

If you need pictures I have lots of the FIO plane, the one you post the picture of. But not really sure of the colours, FIO does not use to be historically correct. I only know that the FIO's Falcon Six is the unique Spanish Civil War plane that really survived the war until nowadays. It was found abandoned on a hangar at Zaragoza and put into flight status by FIO.

There are also pictures of the inside of the plane if you look for them a bit.
