Some winged equipment for our worthy foes.

It will make an interesting change from dodging Zeroes and Bettys. This
was the first time I ever built an aircraft for the Silent Hunter series with no parts from an existing model. Now for texturing, and adding the Lewis Guns.

Researching WWI naval aviation is a job in itself, because I am not very familiar with what naval airplanes were used on either side during the various phases of the war. I also need to find out what squadrons would have patrolled the Channel & North Sea, what aerodromes were near the coast, etc. I might ask some of the "Over Flanders Fields" team for recommendations - they are a brilliant group.

Based on my research so far I will be adding the Felixstowe F.2A and the Short S.184 Seaplane to the Allied roster. However, I still need ideas for German planes. Any suggestions welcome!
