The PAC C7B Seasearcher was a fictional submarine detection aircraft license built by the Purfleet Aircraft Corporation. It was operated by RAF Coastal Command from 1943 to 1948. The prototype was a PAC (Pavelania Aircraft Corporation) C7A Samson modified with Air-to-Surface Vessel (ASV) RADAR. The production variant (this type) had a RADAR operator in the cargo bay. They were taken out of service in 1948, their service in the war having proven invaluable to the protection of allied shipping against German Uboats.
Controls:
VTOL-Propeller pitch (full down is full power)
Trim-Flaps and trim
1-Open/close cargo bay door
2-Not assigned
3-Not assigned
4-Lock/unlock nosewheel (lock before retracting gear)
5-RAT (Ram Air Turbine)
6-Cabin lights
7-Landing lights
8-Navigation lights.
The blue thing in front of the RADAR operator’s face is meant to be a screen but it’s made of air brakes and the criss-crossy thing on top of the plane is an antenna.
Credit to JohnnyBoythePilot for this great aircraft. Enjoy!

@wonkapilot
Alright sounds good.
@JohnnyBoythePilot
My company is the Purfleet Aircraft Corporation.
Purfleet being a town in England.
@wonkapilot
Whatever suits you.
Actually I’ll come up with Another meaning for the p in PAC
@JohnnyBoythePilot
Ok, I might change this plane to the Avro Seasearcher instead, because it looks like an Avro York
@wonkapilot
Sure, just don't have P in PAC stand for "Pavelania"
Idk change it to something else that starts with a P. Like I said I don't care if anyone else uses the term "PAC" but just make sure your P means something different, and not Pavelania.
@JohnnyBoythePilot
No, I meant PAC, your old one
@Trainzo
Thank you!
Very nice creation . Great plane . I love it .
@wonkapilot
What, Rainier Aerospace?
By the way JohnnyBoythePilot, do you mind if I use your company’s name for this build?
@Notaleopard
Sure I mean it's not like I own the abbreviations "PAC" or anything. There's plenty of other companies that use "PAC" such as Pacific Aerospace. It was just a short-hand way of saying "Pavelania Aircraft Company" in my case.
@JohnnyBoythePilot
So can I claim the PAC acronym after all its a real aircraft company
and no mine is Pantheraunica Aircraft Company
@Notaleopard
It's my old now-dead role-playing company that I made this plane under. I now play under "Rainier Aerospace" instead of PAC or Nordan.
What?
PAC
NANI?
