RAF Moreton-in-Marsh was a Royal Air Force station near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. It was opened in November 1940 and closed for operational flying in early 1948. The base remained in use as a relief runway and for training. After a period of care and maintenance, the Station was handed over to the Home Office in 1955. The town's environs are quite flat and low-lying although it is situated at the northern extremity of the Cotswold Hills range. During World War II, a large area of this flat land to the east of the town was developed as an airfield and became the base of 21 OTU (Operational Training Unit) RAF, flying mainly Vickers Wellington bombers. It is highly likely that the airfield inspired the title of the radio show Much Binding in the Marsh. After all, two of its stars, Kenneth Horne and Richard Murdoch, served there as flying instructors.

Kazunori Ito's sweet F-86D in FSX standard MDLX. The F-86D was a night and all-weather interceptor development of the F-86. First flying in 1949, The D was radar and afterburner equipped, armed only with a battery of 2.75 inch FFAR's. The machine had only 25% commonality with the diurnal Sabers, and was briefly called the YF-95. 6 different models were produced by North American and Fiat, equipping 18 air forces around the world between 1949 and the 1970's. This important and over looked type has been beautifully modeled by FS master Kazunori Ito some years ago. Most of the FSX conversion work was done by Henk, with some corrections and the VC converted by Y.T. The gorgeous textures really transform this little gem, these are lovingly created by L'Iguane and Manuele Villa, based on SF8/Jan Visser's metal textures, adapted by L'Iguane.

Swanton Morley was a new station planned under the RAF expansion scheme but not completed to the same standard before the start of the Second World War. It was part of No. 2 Group in Bomber Command until December 1944 when it was given over to 100 Group - the RAF unit responsible for countering German defences against the British strategic bombing - as they needed another airfield close to their HQ at Bylaugh Hall. On 4 July 1942, American and British airmen took off from this station as part of the first combined bombing raid of World War II. No 226 Squadron had been tutoring the US 15 Bombardment Squadron. Both Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower were at RAF Swanton Morley for this mission, which saw six crews from 15th Bombardment Squadron fly a raid with six crews from the RAF, using Boston light bombers belonging to No. 226 Squadron RAF. The raid was made at low level against German airfields in the Netherlands. During World War II the station was home to the Bomber Support Development Unit (BSDU) of No. 100 Group RAF. After World War II the station was home to No 1 Air Signaller's School and later to the Central Servicing Development Establishment (CSDE) and the Maintenance Analysis and Computing Establishment (MACE). From June 1953 to 1995 the station was also used by 611 Volunteer Gliding School, when the station was listed for closure under Options for Change. The station held popular airshows during the 1980s. The station closed in 1995 and was converted to an Army base now known as Robertson Barracks. Source: Wikipedia

Alphasim Vickers Valiant in MDLX standard, for FSX only The often overlooked Valiant was ordered as 'insurance' against more advanced Vulcan and Victor. Designed and developed very quickly, the Valiant's were delivered on time and on budget, a rarity in military aircraft development. B.1's dropped live H-bombs on tests out of Christmas island, dropped conventional warloads on Egyptian airfields from Cyprus during the '56 Suez war, provided NATO's nuclear punch, and served as AAR tankers. Cockpit/interior model is from the Simshed 2010 Nimrod, see readme for instructions. Model by Alphasim(virtavia) http://www.virtavia.com, with Phil's kind permission and encouragement.
