Bidford Gliding And Flying Club is located in the rural area of Bidford-on-Avon, Warwicksire.
It is a small all grass field where it services mostly gliders and light aircraft.
EGBI is not the official ICAO code of this airfield, this is just the ICAO code used by Asobo for this airfield. There is no official ICAO code for Bidford-on-Avon.
This scenery is a work in progress to try and recreate it as accurately as possible.
A massive thank you to Paul S. (pks1414 -> https://flightsim.to/profile/pks1414) for modelling all of the buildings and hangars and a bunch of other really cool custom models. These amazing models have really brought this airfield to life!

This airstrip is a lot of fun, especially coming in from the east - there's a line of telegraph poles just before the airfield perimeter, so you have to make sure you hop over them before landing. I just managed to land a Grumman Goose here - no mean feat considering the short runway - you really have to manage your speed well coming in. Took me two tries - the first one I landed too late and had to add full power - just avoided clipping the trees on the way out. Second try worked like a charm.
It’s is possible to remove the bus and other airport vehicles?
I guess you have used a un-issued ICAO code, as EGBI is not the true code. All I could find were GB-0013 or XBID - still unofficial.
Look forward to landing here again soon.
Pretty empty over here.

Just read this:
"To developers, if you have an AirportServices file in your project to remove airport services. Remove it.
SU8 make some changes and doesn't like this file anymore. Remove that airportservice asset group, make sure upon build it gets removed from your .layout file.
If you don't anyone who downloads your scenery will get affected by 0 airport service from any airport.

Is this still the case? It's a year later and this airport still has the AirportServices file. I just downloaded it today and had a lot of fun hopping the telegraph poles before landing, so it's a great airport - I'd hate to have to get rid of it.

Have you got any plans to re-create Husbands Bosworth where I now fly and Sywell, where I quite often fly in for coffee??
Keep up the good work!
