Two new airfields from me, been up at Flightsim for a few days but now uploaded here----
First we have RAF West Malling
Located near Maidstone in Kent and the Thames estuary, and ideally suited for the defence of South East London, famous as one of the Battle of Britian airfields, Ive chosen to represent West Malling as it looked during the 1950's when WM was home to Meteor and Javelin night fighter squadrons, flying carried on for some years as a home for air training corp gliders and was the home of the Great Warbirds flying display,
many of which i attended before the airfield was given over to redevelopment as a housing estate in 1991,some buildings
remain, most notably, the control Tower,in the middle of the estate. which has become a Costa coffe shop.
One intresting use for the airfield was as a location for the Beatles 1967 Magical Mystery Tour movie, making good use of
the runway and dispersl areas and studio shots film'd in the large hanger behing the control tower.
Made with IanP's and Ted Andrew's great object librarys from http://www.ianpsdarkcorner.co.uk/
with a few simple objects made by myself.
Also included are updated versions of my 1950's RAF vehicle librarys, which have been run through MDLX for better performance, feel free to use these in other scenerys as long as im given credit.
A basic traffic file is also included, install "jyai_javelins_fsx_1.zip" by John Young, found at Avsim
