RAF Banff/Dallachy scenery?

Good stuff !I read in one of the Banff books that it was build on a sloping elevated ridge and that very few sections of the airfield actually was level..

I have already made several 19 and 65 Sqn Mustang paints for their period at Peterhead, so they just need a home!
 
It's an unfortunate feature of the real world that nothing is ever flat... The Scottish Highlands, however, are particularly not! :)

For Banff, I've blended the aerodrome site in as best as I can with the surrounding scenery, which does unfortunately have the effect of "flattening" the immediate area around the Aerodrome Site itself. As I would like it to be usable with AI, however, this is an unavoidable compromise.

Once I've modelled a handful of 30' Nissen combinations, to go with all the Handcraft and 24' Nissens I've been battling with recently, I'll post some screenies on another thread.

Laddie, Banff is nae mair in the Highlands than the Midlands are in Wales. On a clear day ye can see the Highlands, but Banff is nae bumpier than Cornwall. They dinna build airfields on the side of a ben!
 
True, it's not the Highlands (but you can see them on the rare break in the rain!) - it is, however, about as flat as them. One of the few airfields I've ever tried to work on that actually needs contour lines drawn on the plans!

Apparently one corner of one of the taxiways was flat... :D
