Well I can't remember Southend/Ashingdon Airfield or Great Wakering airfield being in the original - not sure how much they were used during BOB but both were operational during WW2 (both on SE Essex coast.)

I was going to suggest Sector stations, but i suppose that would make it too easy a target for the Luftwaffe.

Hi Watchtower,
Southend airport is in as Rochford. Was Great Wakering built by 8th AF ? Don't have all my books here.

Yep Southend/Ashingdon/Rochford - same Airfield. Great Wakering was 4 miles further out towards the east coast. Not sure who operated it but my Dad said is was used during the war. I remember playing there in the early 70's when I was a kid.

Hi Watchtower,
Yarrow ! I was searching a while back for stuff on UK shipbuilders to add in BoB. Was trying to get the locations of the yards on the clyde, etc.
