An array of ambulances - our Albion ambulance model in three colour schemes.
As you might have guessed, we are building an asset library from which we can build RAF airfields at different dates, initially between 1935 and 1945.
If you have any airfield requests, see next post…
Hi all,
Sage advice from @SmotheryVase665
To avoid this thread going off topic, can you add any requests for historic airfields to this new thread, not here.
Thanks in advance!

A WW2 UK asset library is a great idea! I can see how it could speed up the creation of airfields and other WW2 UK scenery.
Will TMD be producing ones for its Iron Age and Roman Britain, or for its Castles of Wales series?
Thinking about superspud’s (@PinkPanteees) great libraries, I am imagining a possible TMD Iron Age & Roman Britain library series:
TMD could use those to produce a Britannia 180 AD series to match Orbx’s EU Great Britain series. 
Mindreader! Yep, all of that!
For Hadrian’s Wall 180 we have a single update in the works to make a virtue of having to rebuild it thanks to SU16. That will include shipping and vehicles.
And as well as setting up the UK’s remaining 4500 Iron Age Hillforts (!), Vol 1 also means that we can add in Romano-British farmsteads along Hadrian’s Wall.
The Castles of North Wales are on hold at the moment but look out for another castle collaboration to be announced soon…
And back on topic, the RAF’s standardisation of building designs means that we can use the models for multiple sites, including USAAF ones that were taken over, to which we can add bespoke buildings.
Okay, I’ll take the first guess: it’s an airbase…in England…with buildings.
What do I win? 
Is it 1942 Gibraltar?
Is it RAF Hawkinge?
Ooh! That was my first guess, too, but I considered that perhaps Mr. Pips included the clipped word “LTAR” to throw us off. There’s very few words in the English language that end with that combination of letters, though. 
Altar would be my guess for that.
It’s a big place too, building numbers up to 187, would that possibly mean US base in Britain?
I have only just spotted this topic and am absolutely delighted top see Kenley being reintroduced to the map. It was the stamping ground of an unheralded BoB hero, Wg Cdr Brendan ‘Paddy’ Finucane. To this day the youngest Wg Cdr in the Royal Air Force, promoted at the age of 21, to become the leader of the Kenley Wing. I am attempting to get the livery specialists to reproduce the livery of his ‘Flying Shamrock’ Mk V Spitfire which would look right at home in this add on. He did fly a Mk IX but not in anger.
More info on Wg Cdr Finucane here
There is also a decent film about his exploits - ‘Spitfire Paddy’
That’s the only word I could think of, which only leads to more confusion, as I can’t recall a single UK airbase equipped with its own altar! 
My guess is it’s somewhere in the Home Counties, probably Kent based on previous TMD posts.
@albatross75160 I’d not heard W/C Finucance’s story until now. Thanks for the extra information and pointer!

Couple of thoughts:
“LTAR” could be part of an acronym, rather than a word or name?
The “8” could be a “B” for building - so not 183, 184, etc. but |B3, |B4, etc.
Definitely in England, and with buildings, but more of an airfield than an airbase…
No, but not unconnected…
Afraid not this time…however…
Perhaps it is an Anglicised word?
It was not just the Americans who could pack a lot of buildings into an airfield!
I hope you can get Finucane’s livery sorted, we hope the Mk V Spitfire fans will enjoy this as much as the Mk I and II types.
The March 1943 layout is also on the plan to cater for the Flying Iron Mk IX and the Kenley Wing’s new commander…
Getting warmer…Ish…
