Thank you to Rowdy36 for the use of his wonderful aircraft, the Cyclone, produced by the Balearic Aircraft Company under license from Hale of Recherche throughout and after the Second World War. I hope to also draw some more unique colour schemes and details the areas of operation of the aircraft when I have a bit more free time, but I just wanted to post what I've already got. I envisage it would've been used mainly in North Africa, Italy, Malta, Greece and home air defence of the Balearic Islands but more details and drawings to come!

Developed jointly between Hale (Recherche) and the Balearic Aircraft Company, I present the trainer versions of the BAC/Hale Cyclone used in service with the Royal Balearic Air Force:
The T.Mk.1 was also modified to become a dive-bomber/fighter and scout/patrol aircraft:

I've updated my current Balearic Airbus A319, together with two new retro liveries, the first originally in use around the 80's and 90's, and the second around the 50's and 60's (I'm not sure about the 70's - I'm working on it), hope you like them.
Also, one of the last aircraft of the Royal Balearic Air Force to wear the RAF roundel, before the transition to a design unique to the Balearic Islands, the Hawker Hunter:
