Sleap airfield is an old WWII RAF airfield still functioning today. Barrie Larke lives near it in Shropshire, UK, and I am a guest of his at the moment till I go back to Greece next Monday. Last Sunday we went to Sleap-- pronoucced [Slape]--and I took this picture of its tower. Barrie has made the scenery for fs9, at flightysim com. Look for Sleap or Barrie Larke. Barrie has made the tower the same as in my image and it is a faitful rendition. In the one picture you see me on the bench in the foreground. In the other you see a general view with some a/c and me with a camera taking a photo.. Thetwo biplanes are Buecker 131's and they did aerobatics and formation flying. I am taking a photo of Pteer Gaskell, the pilot of the farther one.
