Aha! I create currently a Bob DCG campaign and wonder if I should install the Gladiator with it!

Thanks, Hawker17!

You're welcome. Some more info:

The Gloster Gladiator was in operational service with 247 Squadron, stationed in Robourgh, Devon during the Battle of Britain. Although no combat sorties took place at the height of the aerial battles, 247 Squadron Gladiators intercepted a He 111 in late October 1940, without result. 239 Squadron, using Gladiators in an army cooperation role, and 804 Squadron Naval Air Squadron, outfitted with Sea Gladiators, were also operational during the Battle of Britain.

Good luck with your campaign!

I am surprised how many different types of aircraft was in action for the RAF during this time! Like a Fighter Version of the Blenheim!
Again, thanks for the info!
