Unfortunately nothing, XJ823 of No.27 Sqd was an MRR aircraft. I do not believe the MRR Vulcans carried any weapons, please correct me if I am wrong though. From what I've read about the MRR Vulcans in V-Bombers by Barry Jones is that they would map an area and anything worth investigating they would call in a Nimrod for. I know it came out late in the Vulcan's life, but I'm surprised they never through Harpoon Missiles on the Vulcans. B-52s that flew maritime recon had the ability to carry Harpoon Missiles.

I always find it interesting to know who does these add-ons.

I have the Iris package. Which is an awesome package.

Yep. Mine is the Iris package. Been that long I can't remember the start sequence though (I knew I should have downloaded the quick start option)

Edit: They look pretty good Oli

Thanks, i had some more somewhere...

Here are a few more of my collection. Representing KI Sawyer Air Force Base, Michigan in the early 1980s; I have an F-106A of the 87th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and a B-52H in SIOP Camo of the 410th Bombardment Wing.

Yes they are. I downloaded a repaint for the B-52 in SIOP. I am looking for a New Jersey Air National Guard Repaint of the F-106.

May i ask where you got the B52 from, i was looking for it the other day...

The repaint came from here:

Thanks
I meant, Where did you get the add-on from?

As someone has suggested earlier, the B-52 is the Captain Sim version - see here:

The SHRIKES carried by the Vulcans during the Falklands episode were fitted to pylons made up from old Dexian racking, very much a let's see if we can make this work in a rush affair! Anything else carried by Vulcans was internal, i.e.1000Lb BOMBS

Except for an occasional Blue Steel and of course the odd Skybolt before the Yanks scrapped it.

Representing the original Bone wings of Strategic Air Command:

96th Bomb Wing, Dyess AFB, Texas.....The School House


28th Bomb Wing, Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota (This aircraft, 85-0076, actually crashed at Ellsworth AFB in 1988 while on final in poor weather. All four crew members ejected safely, however the DSO did sustain serious back injuries from ejection. My father is friends with the co-pilot who was on that flight.)


319th Bomb Wing, Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota.....The Forks


384th Bomb Wing, McConnell AFB, Kansas

LOVE that aircraft (going to see if I can find one now).
