WWZed Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Until I have my earned rights to wear the WW livery, may I host my own personal skin through this forum (link will be to my Dropbox) so that others may see the skin? /applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://a68.tinypic.com/30dgz0j.jpg&key=01129ef65f741e25bf6f1e3fccdc58e06377e8ee16e80f163412c0f849cba7b0"> /applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://a65.tinypic.com/2ro2gb9.jpg&key=cfcfbb781ffed352f06a60e3abcbf4b787eae7a99b947c8739172b4a76ac8632"> The story behind the skin... while perusing the IL2 Skin forum I came across a skin for a Douglas Boston Mk III from RCAF 418 squadron.... Wait what? A Boston in IL2. I quickly realized that the A20 in the commonwealth was known as the Boston! My father served in the RCAF as a ground mechanic (electrical systems specialist) and later as a flight engineer in a Canso, which was known as the Consolidated PBY by those southof our border.. Having a great interest in aircraft as a boy, I would question my dad incessantly about his service. He had a special saying when something wouldn’t go right, fricken Z(pronounced Zed). It stemmed from a Hanger Queen That confounded his skills and he never did resolve.. A Boston with the destination TH-Z No. z2192. I asked Raptorattack, the original creator of the skin if he could make the required changes which he graciously did, hence I now fly z2192 to honour my father! Thanks for listening. S!
