CLOD Middle Wallop

Thanks for the campaign links will check them out

If you look at Andover on the Channel map, just to the west of the town is RAF Andover. This is absolutely in the correct location. The site of RAF Andover is now a CO-OP distribution mega-warehouse, but was once a WW2 airfield.

At roughly the mid point between Andover and Salisbury should be Middle Wallop. This isnt depicted on the map at all, but it's still an operating airfield today (infact it's barely changed) and has a museum there aswell.

Hello Osprey I thought Ramsgate airfield opened in July 1935, and was used as a satellite of RAF Manston during the Battle of Britain. With the need for the airfield diminishing following the end of the battle, the airfield was closed and obstructions placed on it to prevent its use. 609 Squadron trained at Ramsgate in 1937. See http://www.vord.net/609/ramsgate-37.htm

My Great Uncle was CO of Middle Wallop in the '60s (I think), after it became Army Air Corp.

I vote for its inclusion!

For this game the dev team used a 1938 official map from the RAF and Middle Wallop was not on it;

The picture prove it but Ramsgate does I do have the entire serie of maps.
Maybe Middle Wallop was build after 1938?

04/40 to 10/43, Construction started in 1938, first used by No.15 SFTS then Hurricanes, Spitfires and Blenheims after the fall of France, before the airfield was fully complete. Airfield attacked several times during the Battle of Britain with many casualties and the destruction of a hangar and aircraft. Over 30 RAF fighter and fighter-recce Squadrons based here including 604 Sqn AI equipped Beaufighter nightfighters flown by Sqn Ldr John Cunningham.
