...my FTP package just informed me that RAF Winkleigh has finally finished uploading, so if anyone wants the place, versions 1.0 of both that and 161 (Special Duties) homebase of RAF Tempsford are now available.
No pics again, sorry - I need to drag Nick away from ADE for long enough to take me some half decent ones as mine are worse than my gmax modelling skills (actually? Not sure that's possible... I'll let you lot decide) but the airfields are available.
RAF Tempsford:
(Requires Ted Andrews libraries)
http://www.ianpsdarkcorner.co.uk/historical/raf/tempsford/IJP_EGZT_v1_0.zip
RAF Tempsford lies in the East Midlands, near East Anglia and was technically a Bomber Command station, although it was vastly more famous as home of most of the RAF's Special Duties aircraft. Gibraltar Farm is, unfortunately, not present in this release because I need to make it and haven't done so yet.
RAF Winkleigh:
(Requires IJP (included), Bill Womack (included) and Ted Andrews libraries - but looks fine without the Ted Andrews ones)

Talk about unloved - RAF Winkleigh, nestled between Dartmoor and Exmoor in Devon, was built for Coastal Command in 1942, who didn't want it, given to Fighter Command, who by then didn't need it, so they loaned it to the USAAF as a Photo Reconnaissance base.
When the US forces build up started in 1944, however, Winkleigh finally got home stationed aircraft as a Night Fighter station for Canadian and British Squadrons, plus a detachment from Tempsford's 161 Squadron who flew agent support and drop missions from the station into occupied France using Lysander aircraft.
