FSX RNZAF P-40N "Gloria Lyons". A repaint for the Flight Replicas P-40N (payware). This the RNZAF P-40 more famously known as "Gloria Lyons". As the result of correspondence between two armourers of No. 4 Servicing Unit at Ondonga, on New Georgia in the Solomon Islands, and a pen-friend who was a tuberculosis patient at Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand named Gloria Lyons, it was decided to adopt her as a unit mascot. At that time 4 (SU) aircraft carried code letters, so one P-40N-1, NZ3148 coded 'G', was duly christened 'Gloria Lyons', and this name was painted on the lower engine cowls. Further information and the history is available in the readme, By Ian Warren
