Nige..
No idea why but either my browser (IE) or something else appears to have let go as these shots have gone up to 1360x1024 and I'm sure they were smaller when I looked earlier :think: Can you make sure they're at 800x600 please mate ;-)
Btw.. I've found a less ratty 74 Sqn badge but it says SQUADRON where your's says Fighter Squadron. It's at Wiki and here..

It's a bit further south, think of clotted cream and lots of lovely sunshine, 263 Sqn Typhoons and Whirlwinds defending a certain H M Naval Base.

It's not Predannach (sp?) good guess though. If I'm in the circuit I can see Tavistock and all the way to Plymouth Sound.
The closest village to the airfield also has a rather unfortunate name................
Looking south towards Plymouth.

Well done, it is indeed Harrowbeer!
Had great fun making it and will upload if there's anyone who would like it.
I tried changing my sig but must have biffed it somewhere along the line - will give it another go!
edit: Success - thanks John!

I'll pass past Harrowbeer tomorrow morning on my way up to Eggesford. I look forward to being able to 'fly' from here on the sim. A friend of mine once took a flexwing microlight in there, and had a rather stern visit from the constabulary as a result. Now its a favourite of dog walker and learner drivers.
Best wishes to all,
Martin
