| RAF Driffield |
|
File Description:
The site was first opened in 1918 by the Royal Air Force (RAF) under the name of RAF Eastburn, before closing in early 1920. However, in 1935 a new airfield was built for the RAF initially training bomber crews before closing in 1977 when the site was turned over to the Army for use as a driving school being renamed Alamein Barracks.
The army used Driffield as a driver training centre, until RAF Leconfield (which was also taken over by the Army in 1977) was enlarged to accommodate those who lived and trained at Driffield. In 1992, the RAF regained ownership of this historic aerodrome, naming it: RAF Staxton Wold – Driffield Site. Once again, the RAF ensign flew over Driffield, but not for long. In 1996, the RAF itself transferred its own personnel and facilities to RAF Staxton Wold, thus bringing an end to 60 years of service. On 28 June 1996, the RAF ensign was lowered for the last time, bringing to an end RAF Driffield. It is used as a CTC (cadet training centre) for army cadets and houses 873 Driffield Squadron air training corps

| RAF Stronsay |
|
File Description:
Presenting RAF Stronsay- north of Scapa Flow, UK. Real airfield but redesigned as if it might have been used in WW II, but wasn't. Located about 30 nm north of Scapa Flow, site of the Royal Navy WW I & II ships. This will be a nice addition to Scapa Flow which should be arriving soon from a collaboration of a number of us. This scenery includes a bit of my wry humor, my first published try at making static planes except for the DC-3, John Stinstrom's vintage vehicles- very well done. Front gate guard house has many items inside including coffee pot and fry pan on the stove. The British personnel are from John Dutton in Malta who passed away in May, 2010. He is sorely missed.
I do hope you enjoy this scenery. Bob
