A Flight Simulator Add-on for FS98

by Norman Overington

Honeybourne, Long Marston and Bidford Gliding Centre. Version 1.0

This add-on for MSFS98 covers a small area on the border of Worcestershire and Warwickshire in the United Kingdom.

Here are some views of the airfields, made using the Print Screen facility on a Personal Computer.

Honeybourne as at 1939-45 War. Entrance is from the Honeybourne to Broadway road, which is the old roman road at the top of the picture. Note the aircraft dispersal sites placed in farmland across this road. The airfield does not survive today and is again farmland. Honeybourne is on the left of the picture and Broadway is several miles off the right side of the picture.

Long Marston as at 1939-45 War. Note the Bomb Dump loop on the left. Entrance is from the Stratford-upon-Avon to Broadway road. Stratford-upon-Avon is several miles off the top of the picture and Broadway is several miles off the bottom of the picture. Part of this aerodrome is now known as AVON PARK. There is also a Microlite club and a Microlite training school.

Bidford Gliding Centre as at today. Entrance is from the Bidford-upon-Avon to Honeybourne road. Honeybourne is three miles off the left of the picture and Bidford-upon-Avon is two miles off the right of the picture. The landing strip is grass.
