    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Scenery

Description: RAF Bury St Edmunds (USAAF Station 468) is a former Royal Air Force station located 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England. Built in 1941 it was first home to the 47th Bombardment Group. After the 47th BG moved to RAF Horham, the 322nd BG moved in with their B-16's. The final occupants of USAAF Station 468 were the 94th BG (Heavy) flying B-17's.

This scenery has been tested in P3DV3 and P3DV4. It should work in FSX. The scenery is fairly accurately modeled from the RAF site planes. The main site and all dispersed sites are modeled. A big thanks to Ian P. for his superb models.

Thanks, I found a reference copy of "Battle of Britian airfields, Then an now" in my local library, manage'd to scan some Hawkinge pics and maps and save them to disk, Hawkinge was a bit of a nightmare to pin down, it was bomb'd so often through out summer 1940, the ground layout changed from one day to the next :mixed-smiley-010:

cheers ian

PS, think it was the same publisher of the "After the Battle" series.

I have both "airfields of the eighth" and "airfields of the ninth then and now" and they are amazing reference material. I was working in Cambridgeshire and East Anglia at the time.

I have both also, a pair of well thumb'd bible's on USAAF history in WW2 Britian, and new volume has recently been released, "Coastal command stations, then and now" Lets just say Santa's letter is well on its way :adoration:
