what a sad end to a young life
RIP young man
I think Picture 42 was taken at RAF Shawbury, the watch tower in the background is a Chief Instructor Block only 5 where where built, Shawbury, South Cerney, Little Rissington, Hullavington & Ternhill.
The only one that really matches is Shawbury as the construction of the others differs slightly.

This scenery is now released for FS9 at http://www.ukmil.org.uk, Avsim.com and flightsim.com.
FSX version to come.

Hi Colin,
Yes it will have Traffic, all Squadrons based at Leuchars wil be added also using UKmil custom Aircraft. It should be quite gooooood.
Come across to http://www.ukmil.org.uk and take a look at what we have, I’d recommend a look at John Youngs RAF Coningsby also with custom Traffic, very good.

Hi,
It says on that site that the first control tower was demolished in 1980 which was a ww1 watch office.
The other tower which was a Office for Duty Pilot was still there on Google Earth when the aerial images where taken.

Hi
Here is the list of aircraft that took part in the last Binbrook airshow 1987.
Cheers mate, that’s great and it will certainly be a big help 😀 😀 Thanks a lot

That would be great 😀

Hi, durning the late seventies and eigthies there was normally 1 T5, 3 Mk3’s and 11 MK6’s spread arcoss the 3 squardons
Letters were A-L 6’s, PRS 3’s and the T5 was T.
There were normally about 6-8 a day on the line and there was always 1 or 2 on check 2’s and the rest were U/S
Hope this helps
PS were the QRA hanger plans I sent any good for you ?
Hi 320psi,
Strange, I was going to email you about this when I got around to it, 😉 It only came to me today that you would have known this stuff.
So thanks for the info, if you have anything else that might be useful for me then I’d apprecite it.
I did reply to you about the QRA plans didnt I? I’m sure I did. But yes they where great. I’ve got the QRA for Binbrook built using those very plans, 😀
None of your preserved lightnings are T.5 are they. I’m looking for a good 3-view drawing (front, side, back, top views) of one, so I can build a 3d model. I’ve found lots of drawings for F.3’s and F’6’s but no T.5, and I dont suppose you have any good closeup pictures of the undercarriage from your two I could use to see the detail?
Later

Hi
Thanks for all the info
Steve, have you got a specific platform in mind ie FS2004 etc?
I’ll be making versions for both FS2004 and FSX
It would probably be best to pick a year that you are going to put Binbrook in and then do your research from there, some AC were shuffled between squadrons and so served on both 5 and 11.
I’m thinking between 1985 – 88. A lot of pics I’ve gathered seem to have been taken around that time.
Also it would be a nice touch if you put out airfield decoys too
Great idea, if you know where they where placed on the airfield please let me know. 😉
I have an aircraft participation list for the 1987 Last Last Lightning Show which gives serials and squadrons, also it has a list of airfield decoys on it too. If you want I could try and scan it in and post it.
That will be great.
Stevo 😉
Hi
Cheers fella’s
If anyone here uses Flight Simulator, I’m building a free version of Binbrook with (hopefully) all the squadrons on the apron as AI aircraft.
Will look forward to more info 😉
