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.

Hi Nigel,
RAF Harrowbeer? Good old Google Earth if I'm right. Nearby villages Axtown and Crapstone.

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
