That's an old site showing only Scottish AF's

But....................

Even on here between Downe and Leaves Green/Hill, Biggin Hill airfield is missing.

Select date from the top.

Biggin Hill is where I work from and most of the paved surface is 'as was' during 1940, the original hangars are all gone but certainly there were 2 big hangars on the south west portion of the field where a certain F1 personality currently has their hangar, all the original barracks and mess are still there....it's like looking back in time when you drive past, plenty of the bomb shelters are still in place too.

I hope you find all the data, it really bugged me seeing how sparse Biggin Hill is in game....and I have no idea what ramsgate airfield is doing there too....Manston is my second home airfield.....or first as I live closer and learned to fly there.

Bernie used to own a lot of the "out buildings" at Biggin Hill for car storage.

Not sure if he's still keeping his collection there anymore though.

I would put the hangars on the other side of the perry tracks.....too close to the runways I think, but the general idea is probably close, it still makes you realise how under modelled the airfields are, I would trade alot of the eye candy for decent airfields, trade some of the density of the villages for propper barrack blocks and mess buildings.
