Royal Air Force Upper Heyford or more simply RAF Upper Heyford is a former Royal Air Force station located 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Bicester near the village of Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, England. In the Second World War the airfield was used by RAF Bomber Command. During the Cold War, Upper Heyford was one of the former RAF bases chosen to house the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command (SAC) nuclear-capable bombers on 90-day TDY (Temporary Duty) deployments until 1959, SAC Reflex Alert deployments from 1959 until 1965, from 1966 United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) tactical reconnaissance aircraft, and from 1970 General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark strike aircraft.
I have had to use the orignal ICAO code with the adittion of a B on the end as its code has been allocated to another airfield.
EGUAB is what i have used.
this is a complete rework from scratch as it did not exist in the sim apart from a satailte image so everything you see i have added, it is currently used for car storage as you ban see in the before image, so i have had to vover up sections of grass with new grass as it was filled with cars, theres still more to do but the main part of the base is done, i have more work to do where the houses and shops were.
I have used assets from th efollowing packs

Any change you will make some realistic german bases like wittmund, buchel, norvenich, schleswig-jagel etc? And maybe some old ones also like eggebeck, pferdsfeld etc. 😊

I checked out the ILS and it appears to work properly, but I noticed in the VFR Map Information display for the ILS that the localiser heading is "173" and not 273 - I assume that is a typo in the scenery editor.
Also, at the entrance to the Victor Alert site (HAS 6) the pickup protrudes into the gateway - can it be moved back slightly? Minor point I know.
Thanks
