after Bonny Bea, I thought it would be nice to have a Malcolm hood version from Fowlmere too, so here's "Punkie", the aircraft of Lt Robert Blizzard:

That looks remarkably like Australia to me. Certainly not Fowlmere. ;)

Fowlmere itself is an active current airfield with a single grass runway, parking an entire field away from the runway and what looks like a single T2 or Bellman WW2 period hangar (although it might not be, I've never been there, only seen photographs).

Indeed, Oz, this is Tamworth by FTX, the aircraft were originally from Fowlmere...

:redface: Maybe I can save face by saying those two hangers look remarkably like British designs! Can anyone ID what hanger types they are??

They're too wide to be RAF standard WW2 transportable ones (T series, Bellmans or similar) so I'd suggest they were built to a similar design, but not to RAF standard drawings.

Not quite entirely OTT, I did look at doing Fowlmere, but decided against it because it was an active airfield... Does anyone have the UK2000 scenery covering it (I believe VFR Airfields 1?) and if so, is it included? I assume so.

It is included in VFR Airfields 2 (which I don't have yet). A couple of screenshots can be found here http://www.uk2000scenery.com/vfrairfields/My_Homepage_Files/Page12.html
