• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Nice update Ian, thanks.

I have flown round Red and Shivering Sands towers on a few times (I'll dig out the pics), also out to Sealand (but out of range of their AA defenses! lol).

The towers are suffering a huge amount of steel reinforced concrete rot, lots of rusticles, with a thick coating of sea bird sh*t on top! So the new tex looks better than they really are, but I know you've done them as in WWII use.

We would fly from Essex, and from Southend (old RAF Rochford) airport, which is a little closer to most of them than Manston. Mind you I have always used Ian's RAF Manston in Fs9 or CFS2 a lot, all versions are good.

Also Gray-Eagle unfortunately you won't see them on Google Maps, they now use a generic sea tex instead of photo tiles in a lot of areas, which is a shame.

Cheers
