Yeah but only on the NJ airfields.
Not much bombing on the BC ones after '41, certainly '42. It will make life interesting; maybe need a 'wagon' to check the runway 1st with Steve's lights from TOW.

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.

To keep the flame burning...
Near the town of Cheltenham you 'll find the small grass airfield of Stoke Orchard wedged between the main road and a railway line. With a varied career ranging from 1941 to the late forties Stoke Orchard was the home of No.10 Elementary Flying Training School, No.3 Glider Training School, Mosquito's, night flying Hurri's, the Norwegians of the training camp "Little Norway" when it was moved from Canada to the UK and many, many others.
Circling the airfield you 'll notice that is is still under construction but the layout is already becoming visible. Many buildings are already erected but many more need to be built.
When you climb the water tower you get a good view of the Watch Office and hangar area and when you look east, you 'll notice that the living quarters are already there but the barracks are still waiting for their cement rendering and green camo paint.

To keep you all warmed up for the ACC airfields...
Stoke Orchard again has recieved a few new building models!
Last week they began erecting the Miskin's Triple Blister after the MT yard recieved it's vehicle shed and petrol pump. Also a new fire engine shed was built next to the Watch Office.
When the Triple Blister is finished, the construction crew will probably continue putting the Double Blisters together. Since most of the personnel quarters are finished, only a more permanent mess hall needs to be built before operational flights are expected to commence...
