RNAS Grimsetter (HMS Robin ) and originally RAF Kirkwall
Originally an RAF fighter station from 1940 to provide cover for Scapa Flow naval base in the Scottish Orkney isle.
Loan'd to the Fleet air arm in 1943 as a satellite airfield for RNAS Hatston airfield which is about 4 miles north as Kirkwall.
I originally wanted to model Hatston when i made up the Tirpitz scenery way back in the winter, as Hatston was the original base for many FAA units carrying out attacks on the Tirpitz 43/44, but the stock coast and mesh made that impossable, so i thought i'd just retro the stock Kirkwall instead.
You will need both my "RAF Bradwell Bay V2" and "RAF Manston 44 FS9" for the objects
Ive made some very minor change's to the Bradwell Bay building texture's, to make them more weather'd and subdued,
ive also alpha'd out the signal square from the control tower as i'd like to use these objects for further airfields.
If you like the change, you can copy from the Grimsetter/texture folder to the Bradwell Bay/texture folder
The F4U-1A Corsair static is by Fulbert from the stock CFS2 model updated by "The B24 Guy"
The FAA skin is by José Alvarez "Erafitti"
The Mainhill shelters are by me
If you download and install the Alphasim freeware Fairey Swordfish, you'll find included a very nice model of escort carrier HMS Amastra, which can be installed in the scenery library and is landerble. Its position is a few miles south of Kirkwall in Scapa Flow
