1940 era RAF Mildenhall

RAF Mildenhall for FS9, 08/08/23


4th and final in my series of RAF Bomber Command airfields, we go back to 1940, when Bomber Command
were working out how best to fight the war


Ive completely removed any trace of Lakenheath, it was a satellite airfield for Mildenhall
from 1941 but it was easier to remove it than retro it, If you have any F15's in your WW2 install,
you might be in trouble :) if you want it back, just remove--
0_EGUL-EX_VTPX.BGL and EGUL_ADE9_ADE.bgl from Mildenhall scenery folder


For Ai,ive gone for the old Alphasim freeware Wellington 1C, which is appropriate for 1940 Mildenhall,
the model is included, no movement im afraid, just static






Most of the objects, you should already have by now, but just in case---
RAF Manston 44 FS9.zip
Ted Andrews RAF building library.zip.
and im using some of Shessi's RAF figure's also


Ive also included a zip of custom objects, which i use for this and further airfields, just unzip RAF-EX-OBS,
and place bgl's into your Addon scenery/scenery folder, and the texture's into Addon scenery/texture, if you have my Waddo/Scampton/Linton
installed, you should be ok.


Alternative ground poly for GW user's is included.

Ta muchly Ian,

Good to see earlier war stuff as well. Possibly a pre-war satellite airfield with say MkI Blenheims/Battles/Whitleys et al?

Cheers

Shessi
 
Thanks for all of these Ian, stunning as ever. :applause::applause:

A question for you, where do you get your info from, layouts etc? I've got a little project (well, not little, but hey) I'd like to have a crack at, but just can't find any detailed enough information.

What are you after Andy? A lot of info can be found on Airfield Information Exchange

Pete's tip about AIE is pretty solid, used it myself until i had a problem with my subscription, i also have an extensive library on airfields including a full set of Action Station's and works by Roger Freeman. A good start is google the airfield in question, but open the image's tab, you might get lucky and see a map or site plan. Using the historical imagery function on Google earth has been handy in the past. If you want any info, give us a PM and i see what i have
 
Pete & Ian, thanks for the pointers, I'd completely forgotten about AIE. :banghead:

What am I after Pete? Well, I'm currently living over the river from Rochester Castle* and I've got a hankering to add the Short Brothers works to the waterfront, as well as producing a retro Rochester airport when was home to the Stirling. Brick wall time so far.


* I've been researching my family tree for a while now and it appears that the man who used Rochester Castle as a bolthole, bad ol' King John, is my 24th great grandfather. Which sounds mildly impressive until you realise that a) oodles of people will be able to make the same connections and b) it means I am distantly related to Danny Dyer. :biggrin-new:

I saw a good site about the Shorts factory when I was researching Avro Tutor things..

Thanks Pete. Hadn't seen the Facebook page, I'll have a dig around. As for the Heritage Site ..... well, if I wanted to model the tunnels I'd be sorted. :D To be fair, there is a lot on there but the detail concentrates on what is left.

The main Shorts archives are held by the Council, trying to see what I can get from them. If not it is going to be best guess time.
