SOH-CM-2024
RAF Bradwell Bay V2, by Ian Elliot 06/20 for FS9

This is a new version of the scenery i did many years ago and is a short hop across the Thames estuary from Manston


Originally a landing ground in the 1930's for aircraft using the nearby
Denghie marsh ranges, Bradwell opened properly in 1941 and became the home
of 23 Canadian night fighter sq flying Douglas Havocs, this was the start of
an association with night fighter units that was to last the rest of the war
with up to 20 0r more units flying a variety of aircraft including Bostons,
Mosquito's and Beaufighters. Spitfire and Typhoon units also moved in to support
the Allied landings in June 1944 and later to counter the V1 threat especially
the He-111 air lunched V1 from out in the north sea.

Most of the objects are by myself, but thanks to Gary Burns (Gary20) for the blast pens and some texture's,
and to John Stinstrom for looking over the scenery and making the Afcad more Ai friendly ( ive used his original Traffic file but changed the aircraft)

You will need my "RAF Manston 44 FS9" released 05/20, as ive used some of the objects from that scenery


Ive used the BSK Mosquito NFII as an Ai plane for the traffic, although not ai, it seems to perform very well and still looks good with reasonable frames with about 10 aircraft.


From the SOH file library, you'll need---


BSK Mosquito NFII Night Fighter for FS 2004.zip


BSK_Mosquito_464th_Sqn.zip repaint by RobH which is found in the CFS2 skins-British library
This repaint seems not to have a CFG entire, so ive included mine,

Superb work and most appreciated, thank you! Doesn't seem to be in the FS2004 scenery section yet. I do have the RAF Manston 44 FS9 installed.
 
Great stuff Ian, many thanks.

Eee..takes me back...

Not much left of it now, and the nuclear power station (one of the earliest in the UK, which was decommisioned in the early 2000's) takes up a fair bit of it of the old airfield.

And this rediculous Mossie memorial :dizzy:, which is a shame, as Ian says, a lot happened from that airfield.

Cheers

Shessi, In the read-me from the original i did 12 years ago, i actually gave you a thank you, i cant remember what for, i cant remember what i did last week, let alone 12 years ago. So for what ever it was, Thanks Again :biggrin-new:
 
Ha ha ha...I can't remember either!! But thanks for the thanks.:loyal:

Yes Huub, obviously there were airfield Mossie crashes here, but when they put the memorial in, and I went and saw it, I was very surprised and disappointed for it to display a Mossie like this! (and most people who see it say the same thing). If money/skill was a problem how about a flying plan or side-view silhouette of a whole Mossie?


Cheers

Thanks for the kind words Huub, but that looks like the Realair West Malling to me, unless, thats where you took off from, which is only a short hop across the Thames :encouragement:
