Right, the release schedule has been rewritten (mostly I just threw it all up in the air and noted where it landed) and we’re starting today with something from the early age of commercial air travel.<\/p>\n

We had a request for some Civilian Airfield buildings in the Small Scale Scenery<\/a> to go alongside the existing military ones<\/a>. The oldest licensed civilian airfield in the UK, dating from 1910, is Shoreham<\/a>. It has a very distinctive 1930s art deco terminal building which has starred in a number of films (search for it and you’ll find pictures of it dressed up in swastikas!).<\/p>\n

Before WW2 the airport itself consisted of three buildings – the terminal building, a large 2-arch hangar and a small shed (presumably used as workshops). This photo<\/a> shows the layout perfectly (I would include the photo here but I couldn’t find any copyright information so I’ve linked to it instead).<\/p>\n

During the War the airfield was used by the RAF and was home to various aircraft including Lysanders, Spitfires, Hurricanes and Defiants. The main hanger was badly damaged in one Luftwaffe attack, losing the outer skin, but the framework survived and it was restored post-war.<\/p>\n

Since 1945 the airfield has expanded and has a number of additional hangars and light industrial units, but the original three buildings are still there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our set consists of the three 1930s buildings cast in resin.<\/p>\n
