Sceneries by Brian Clarke
All sceneries use various object libraries, mainly from Military AI Works. Full details in the readme's.
RNAS Yeovilton
FS2004 scenery for RNAS Yeovilton (HMS Heron) as it is today. Yeovilton is the current home to various helicopter squadrons flying the Sea King, Commando, Lynx and the new Wildcat. It is also home to fix wing flying with the likes of Hawks of the Naval Flying Standards Flight with the Hawk, 727 Sqn with Grob Tutors and not forgetting the Royal Navy Historic Aircraft Flight, flying the Swordfish, Sea Fury, Sea Hawk and Chipmunk.
This scenery is made up from objects obtained from various MAIW scenery libaries, which are all available to download, and will be needed in order to get the fullest benefit of this station. Full details in the enclosed documentation.

RAF Wittering
Wittering was opened as an RAF station in 1924, but flying here started way back in 1916 with the Royal Flying Corps.
Initially the Central Flying School was based here from 1926 until 1935. During World War 2, Wittering was a part of 12 Group, which was responsible for the defence of the Midlands.
The station took on a nuclear responsibility in 1956 with the arrival of the V-Force Valiants, and later Victor bombers. Because of this, the runway was increased in length.
After the V-Bombers left, the station took on the mantle of Home of the Harrier, a title it carried with it from 1969, until the stations closure in 2010.
This scenery is made up of various library objects to make a close representation of the base, as opposed to being factually accurate.
Brian has incorporated most of the extra runways and representations of deck landing areas that were used at Wittering for V/STOL training - these runways are not active, but may still obviously be used for taking off and landing yourself.
Also included are repaints of John Young's Harrier GR3/T4 AI model. These represent the aircraft of No.1(F) Squadron and No.233 OCU, during 1989-90.
There are also a set of representative flightplans to allow the Harriers to fly "typical" missions and flights.

RAF Alconbury
The last flying units to be based here were the A-10A's of the 10th Tactical Fighter Wing and the TR-1's of the 95th Recon Squadron. Alconbury was opened by the RAF in 1938, and taken over by the USAAF in 1942. It is one of two bases that have been continually in U.S. service since World War 2.
There are two options for parking setups in this scenery - it is defaulted to A-10 operations, but you can swap out files to house the RF-4's of the 10th TRW and F-5E's of the 527th TFTAS; the Phantoms are available but there are no F-5 paints available yet.
Scenery is made up from several object libraries, details can be found in the readme.

RAF Northolt
RAF Northolt is home to 32(The Royal) Sqn, flying BAe 125's and 146's to carry members of the Royal household, government ministers and high-ranking officers.
Thanks to John Young for allowing the use of his Spitfire model as the gate guardian.

RAF Wethersfield
Used by USAAF Bostons and RAF Stirlings during World War Two, Wethersfield became home to the 20th FBW in 1952, flying the F-84, and then the F-100 up until 1970. It was used for operational exercises by CONUS-based Air National Guard units up until 1993, by which time the base was handed back to the MoD. The runways and maintenance buildings are still useable. Another great scenery from Brian, and thanks to Tony Dalton for the use of his radio masts.
RAF Chivenor
This was the home of No. 2 Tactical Weapons Unit, comprised of 63 and 151 Squadrons, flying the BAe Hawk in the advanced flying role and also for weapons training. Complete aircraft for either grey or camo schemes included (thanks to Nick Black and Chris A. Brown) plus flightplans.
RAF Brawdy
This was the home of No. 1 Tactical Weapons Unit, comprised of 79 and 234 Squadrons, flying the BAe Hawk in the advanced flying role and also for weapons training. Complete aircraft for either grey or camo schemes included (thanks to Nick Black and Chris A. Brown) plus flightplans. Also included are optional plans to get the Hunters of 79 Sqn flying (separate download needed)
BAe Dunsfold
This is the former British Aerospace airfield at Dunsfold in Surrey. It was here that the first flights of the Harrier and the Hawk took place. The airfield is now the site of the BBC TV series Top Gear.
Zweibrucken Air Base, West Germany 1990
This scenery represents Zweibrucken Air Base in Germany as it was during 1990. At this point, the base was the home to the reconnaissance Phantoms of the 38th TRS/26th TRW. Also based here were the C-23 Sherpa's of the 10th MAS, which played a huge role in the European Distribution System, providing spares and supplies to bases throughout Europe without the cost of using larger cargo aircraft. The scenery has been constructed using objects mainly from MAIW sceneries, which will need to be installed in order to gain the full visual experience.
RAF Swinderby 1990
This scenery represents RAF Swinderby as it was during 1990. Swinderby was the entrance point for all non-commisioned ranks following their entry into the Royal Air Force, where they spent six weeks undertaking basic training. It was also home to the Chipmunks of the Elementary Flying Training School, where prospective pilots were sent to give them 15 hours introductory flying training before being put into mainstream training. The station was closed in 1993 and now only the flying side of the station exists as warehousing and storage. Also included are 7 repaints of Mike Cronin's de Havilland Chipmunk in the colours of the EFTS, plus representative flightplans. The scenery has been constructed using objects mainly from MAIW sceneries, which will need to be installed in order to gain the full visual experience.
RAF St. Athan
This scenery represents MoD St. Athan (formerly RAF St. Athan). It was a major servicing unit during the 70s and 80s for most types of aircraft with the exception of Hawks, Jaguars and Buccaneers (RAF Abingdon). The scenery has been constructed using objects mainly from MAIW sceneries, which will need to be installed in order to gain the full visual experience.
RAF Wyton 1990
Brian Clarke actually started Wyton last year, in anticipation of John Young's Canberra - but for one reason or another it fell by the wayside. With Derek Taylor producing the paints for 100 Sqn and 231 OCU, Brian picked up the project again and more or less started from scratch. This scenery is coded for Derek's Canberra's and is hopefully well-enough representative of the base as it was during the 80s, using a little artistic licence as and where necessary. This scenery uses various MAIW object libraries which will need to be downloaded separately.
RAF Machrihanish 1990
During the Cold War, Machrihanish was a strategically important North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) airfield, with its location giving immediate access to patrol & support naval operation over the North Atlantic. It was also valuable as a stopping point for transatlantic military flights. This scenery is made from various MAIW object libraries which need to be downloaded first.
Royal Aircraft Establishment Bedford 1990
Scenery for the Royal Aircraft Establishment based at Thurleigh near Bedford. Scenery is made from various MAIW object libraries which will need to be downloaded separately - full details in the readme. Also included are repaints for five aircraft based there (Tornado, Canberra, HS125, HS748 & BAc 1-11), again these are textures only bar two, so other downloads are needed.
Storck Barracks, Illesheim, West Germany 1990
The third scenery designed by Brian Clarke, this is a representation of the first European base of the McDonnell Douglas AH-64A Apache. Illesheim Airfield was built by the Germans as a part of their illegal air force expansion during the 1930s, and was used extensively during world war 2 by the Luftwaffe.
The USAAF, and subsequently the US Army, have resided at the base since 1945, and the first Apaches of the 2nd Squadron, 6th Cavalry arrived in 1986. The Apache repaints represent the aircraft of 2-6 during 1990, but the base could be used in a modern environment as it is still in use. Also included are repaints for Nick Blacks AI AH-64 for use at the base.

Beja Air Base, Portugual
Modern scenery of Beja Air Base in Portugal. The base, originally designed for use by the German Luftwaffe in 1964, now trains pilots for the Portuguese Air Force using Socata TB-30 Epsilon and Alpha Jets. Lockheed P-3 Orions form 601 Sqn in the maritime role and Alouette III's of 552 Sqn perform various transport, training and SAR duties. Other downloads are required in order to use this scenery, details in the readme.
Sembach Air Base 1990
This scenery is a representation of Sembach Air Base in the former West Germany during 1990. At the time, Sembach was host to the 66th Electronic Combat Wing, which was responsible for the home-based EC-130H "Compass Call" aircraft of the 43rd Electronic Combat Squadron, and also had in-direct control of the 42nd Electronic Combat Squadron based at RAF Upper Heyford in the U.K. flying the Grumman EF-111A Raven. The 66th ECW moved into Sembach during 1986, and spent the next six years flying from there. The role of the aircraft was electronic disruption of enemy radio and radar transmissions, to limit the enemies ability to co-ordinate their own forces and also the transmission of propaganda in an attempt to win hearts and minds. Sembach was also known as Det.1 of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing, based at the Twin Bases complex of RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters. The A-10A's of the six squadrons there would regularly deploy to Sembach and other Forward Operating Locations (FOLs) within West Germany, which was a part of their war-time role. Included in this package are repaints of all six EC-130H's present at Sembach as of April 1990.
