That airfield in the UI screen....

In case you ever wondered....

The airfield that the UI always returns you to is Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire. It was a WW1 airfield very similar to Duxford but demolished in 1922. In 1940 it was a satellilite for Duxford, a/c being transfered there daily for
duty.

As far as I've been able to find out all that was there at that time was Manor Farm to which were added a few huts and tents. In the BoB
then & now book are a series of photos taken during the battle and are what the layout's based on.

Yes, I did paint the figurines myself!

Lol, nice one Nigel. Very nice figures too. :applause:
