EGCB – Manchester Barton City Airport and Heliport – Upgrade v1.0
This is a rework of EGCB Manchester Barton.
A few people have mentioned wanting this so I thought why not? It’s nearly Christmas. I haven’t been to Manchester in 15 years or so and don’t fly there but many clearly do. The last time I was there I sat next to Tony Wilson and realised it couldn’t possibly get more Manchestery so departed immediately.
This airport was of course a right yawnfest as standard but also had a vicious swarm of taxi signs infesting the joint. I have swatted them all and left one symbolic sign to remember the bad times. Surely getting lost is better than smacking into 50 signs in a row.
Most of the buildings have been replaced. New aprons. Some ground markings. More detailing in general. A bit of light has been added as well as it was pitch black all over. Many, many irritating satellite photo burn ins have been covered over with grass and a few trees in inopportune places have been nuked. Maybe they’ll come back, not sure.
None of the airport functionality has been touched. It seems like the type of place people would want to do fly ins so if you want a vast bunch of spaces to touch base with your bloods let me know and I’ll add them when time permits.
I’m not gonna class this effort as a stone cold classic, the choice of items to play with is limited with a site like this, but it does make it flying out of it more fun than it was before.
