I am in awe at your work. Just remember that black out restrictions would have been in place and likely only the airfield runway taxiway lights and approach funnels would have been visible. I am by ne means an expert, but there are some here who are.

Cannot wait to see the project finished

Oh, I have the station bulletins noting the blackout time for each day, however, lights can be included to 1) depict twilight, 2) show the operational Drem lighting, and 3) because it will look awesome...

Is that done with fibre optics? I should imagine a scale bulb is a step too far :)

Yes, 0.7mm (I know it's too big) fiber optic end glow.

I'll light up living sites and community with a variety of fibers.

Brilliant effort David. I think the runway needs the 800-yard marker bar.

Sadly Framlingham used the American Bartow HILV lighting. Another project?

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

Looks like it was Drem II in the early summer, converting began in September. 800 yard line added, funnels added, perimeter track complete. Sadly only five of the outer loop lights fit...

Adding vehicles, exterior stores (I.e. strategically placed dust), smoothing and finishing. I want it to match these newly acquired aerial photographs.

Lucky it was a FIDO equipped airfield :)
