Yes.. rather nice that. I think I'll take a look. Cheers Peter
Edit.. I can't see where it's available from so I'll check the main 2 first

Hi Peter
Tks

I found one file around a year old and a-n-other 5 years old. The latest had that filename so I'll download it now knowing it's the right one
EDIT..
Very nice Peter. Have a look over on the military side and in between the parked C130 and a yellow hangar.. there's a hangar with brown doors facing you (presuming that you're looking toward the hangars

) that has a flashing red beacon close to it but, as far as I can make out, is not attached to anything

Can't see me spending much time on the military side so it doesn't really matter but I'd be interested to see if you see this non-attached beacon too

Yes I've found that Dave...It is rather strange as its position is not fixed...As I walk up to it, its size increases a bit but it wanders about and as you say it is not fixed to anything...Mystery!

Cheers Peter.. a little Easter Egg for us
When I first noticed it, I was doing a tour in the AHF Alouette and thought I was seeing a reflection of one of my beacons. It looked a little odd so I went outside and there it was..
It shouldn't detract from what is a darned good airport though and I've just loaded WOAI MEA, EL AL and Gulf Air to see what pop's in

Pretty much the full extent of the Trident ops.. I do hope I see one there on what will be one of my infrequent visits
I hope none of my Tridents finds this parking slot..

Dave there was a new AFCAD in the Zip to replace the previous that had some parking errors...Also a few textures and bit to manually add...All covered in the readme.

Hi Peter
Believe it or not, I read that and included the new afcad and all the new textures. It mentioned 6 in para 3 but there were actually 7 (just to prove I was paying attention)

To prove to myself I'm not a complete dingbat.. I've checked the AF2 file included in the zip and the one in the scenery folder and they are one and the same.. 23.5.2009 12:37. That position is over by J8/J9 if I remember right

Yes I counted seven as well...However, one of those seven had the same date and time as the one it replaced
