Unfortunately Castle Archdale is outside the ETO sandbox which drops off @ about long. W6.5 whilst the Scottish ones are above the lat. N55 cutoff.
Calshot and Felixstowe could be included but were not used much operationally. There was a forward operating base on St Marys in the Isle of Scilly but mainly used to extend the operational range of Sunderlands based @ Pembroke and for first landfall of trans Atlantic passenger flying boat flights. During WW1 there was a large flying boat base on Tresco (one of the other islands of Scilly 20 miles off Lands End) which during WW2 was used as a base for impressed French trawlers that dropped and picked up agents on the coast of France.
The pictures show trawler N51 & 'Remy' (Colonel Gilbert Renault), clutching the blue prints for the German Atlantic Wall, being brought out of France with his family.

VIIF U-Boat Operation README.rtf
When using this player-drivable Type VII-F U-Boat in the QC_Shipping Locations of Biscay and Texel, please select altitude as 2500 ft in the location. If you select "Runway", the ship will be in the air.
The periscope is raised and lowered by applying Shift + B (Bomb Bay Doors toggle).
The U-Boat will dive and surface by applying Shift + C (Canopy Open/Close toggle).
The torpedoes are armed by pressing Backspace.
The torpedoes are fired by pressing Enter.
Have some fun in the QC_Shipping Locations.
hope this help also.
