For those familiar with RAF airfields in Kent that were involved in the Battle Of Britain, RAF Eastchurch, on the Ilse Of Sheppey (in top left corner on the Dover / Kent map) isn't used in the game.

However, after a 666 Squadron "tour the airfields" formation landing and takeoff jaunt, yesterday evening, we had a look around for it, over the Ilse Of Sheppey.

On checking the RAF airfield maps in a Battle Of Britain book, I landed on a kinked long rectangular field right next to and east of the villiage of Eastchurch. On checking with Google Earth today, this field actiually exists and is all that is left of RAF Eastchurch, though the facilities to the north west and south east are now industrial premises.

Eastchurch isn't listed as a fighter station in my book, as far as I can make out, but may have been a private flying club airfield commandeered for RAF use. The chances are that Eastchurch was just an emergency / auxilary airfield with no squadrons based there and limited facilities.

The airstrip is there, though of no relavent use in the game.

For those who were involved in the "expedition", that was RAF Eastchurch's airfield we flew over and some of us landed on.
