RAF Northolt

[ian elliot]

Ive retro'd Northolt,if you have Pete's AH Hurri Keith Park skin or Huubs new 303 sqd repaint, this is the airfield you need



Openned in 1915 as a RFC airfield, Northolt has the longest history of continuous use of any RAF airfield
and was the first RAF airfield to take dilivery of the Hawker Hurricane in December 1937
A key airfield in the Battle of Britian, home to Hurricane sqds including 303 Polish sqd




Most of the objects, you should already have by now, but just in case---
RAF Manston 44 FS9.zip
Ted Andrews RAF building library.zip.
You should have also installed a few if not all of my recent Bomber command airfield's which will
give you a few extra obs


Alternative ground poly for GW user's is included.


There's a traffic file using Mk1 Hurricane by Gary Burns from his BoB airfields from way back, Ive included the aircraft
so just unzip into your aircraft folder and your good to go


Thanks to Gary for the Hurri, and Shessi for his figure's and vehicles

Been meaning to ask where did you get the NAAFI wagon from in your recent sceneries?

Its my own, made with FSDS. Its a bit under scale, so if you use it you need to enlarge it a tad. that tends to be the way i do thing's, i dont worry to much about scale while building, i can adjust that in sim.

Thanks ! My dad was based there in 1940 after he'd managed to leave France courtesy of a Dutch fishing boat from La Rochelle !

Thank Ian

In the late 70-ties and early 80-ties, I've been there several times with a Troopship from the RNAF. In those days RNAF had a scheduled flight every Tuesday morning from Soesterberg AB to RAF Northolt and back in the early evening. They often flew cargo, but normally you could find a seat. Air force personnel just had to fill in a form and hop on board! Life was still easy in those days.

Always fun to do some X-mas shopping in Ruislip or rush with the Underground to the centre of London.

Cheers,
Huub

Huub, we used to do the opposite, they were called 'indulgence flights' ; hop on at Northolt going to Wildenwrath usually , then go to Roermond....

Requested by Andy, but also a nice addition to use with Ian's Northolt.

Cheers,
