| RAF Barkston Heath - 1944 |
|
File Description:
At the time of its construction, RAF Barkston Heath in common with a number of other airfields in the Grantham area had been planned for the RAF's No. 7 Group. In late 1943, Barkston Heath was made available to the United States Army Air Forces Ninth Air Force and designated as USAAF station 483. It was earmarked for basing troop carrier units scheduled to be transferred from Sicily to participate in the forthcoming cross-Channel invasion, Operation "Overlord"
American 61 TCG aircraft based at Barkston Heath carried British paratroops on the ill-fated operation Market Garden.
The USAAF returned control of the airfield to the Air Ministry in June 1945 when the war in Europe ended. Barkston Heath was used by No 256 Maintenance Unit and No 2 RAF Regiment. Beginning in May 1948.,
RAF Barkston Heath has the Naval and Army Elements of No. 3 Flying Training School (3 FTS) which, for a period between approximately 1995-2010 operated the Slingsby T67M260 Firefly two-seat trainer. The school now operates the Grob Tutor T1. A secondary role of RAF Barkston Heath is as a Relief Landing Ground for the flying training activities at RAF Cranwell.

| TACAN Replacements - Australia |
|
File Description:
By default, all of the TACAN navigational aids present within FSX have the bearing component turned off, so as to properly represent the real world result of tuning in the DME component of a TACAN with a civilian plane. However, this limits their functionality when you wish to use them in conjunction with an aircraft (generally military) equipped with a representation of a functioning TACAN system.
This scenery download contains 9 adjusted/changed navigational aids for Australia to represent nearly all currently active TACAN stations.
Scenery was created after receiving a request from a fellow AVSIM forum member currently posted at RAAF Pearce. Enjoy & good luck!
