Royal Air Force Odiham
			      Hampshire, England.

		  ** Home of the Battlefield Helicopter **

		   (Well that's what it says on the gates)

	Designed by Adrian. (The Brit.)            Version 3.0


	RAF Odiham is situated about 40 miles west of London and about a mile
south of the village of Odiham. The nearest large(ish) town is Basingstoke.
The airfield came into being in the mid 1930's and was opened at an official
ceremony where the guest of honor was no less than a Mr. Hermann Goering.
It was a fighter station until the 1960's when it became, (as the gates
proclaim), the home of the Battlefield Helicopter.
	Today it is the home of 33 Squadron, flying Aerospatiale Puma HC
Mark I helicopters which operate all over the world. 7 Squadron, flying 
Boeing Vertol Chinook helicopters operating all over Europe and the Middle 
East and No. 230 Operational Conversion Unit, flying both of the above, to
train operational aircrew for the other Puma and Chinook squadrons of the RAF.

	Having left all my documentation in England when I left, the area has
been created entirely from memory. I set out to achieve the "feel" of flying
into Odiham. Since I lived and worked there for 4 years, and flew out of it
on a daily basis, my memory served me well. I was pleasantly surprised on my
first approach.

	The version you see here is version 3, (you may already have versions
1 or 2 and if so hope you are pleased with it's evolution) it contains many
new features created with the Scenery Enhancement Editor.

	New objects to note are as follows:-

	i)	The telegraph poles and wires (at 25') on the approach to
		runway 28.

	ii)	The two Puma helicopters and the Chinook helicopter in a 10'
		hover beside runway 28 waiting to take off.

	iii)	The small hill (1/2 a mile NW of the threshold of runway 10)
		with the trees on the top. (You have to be at the same height
		or higher than the trees or they turn into slanted lines.)

	iv)	The water tower on the hill a couple of miles SW of the 
		Threshold of runway 10.

	v)	If you taxi, or slew, down the road to Odiham village (north
		of RAF Odiham) you will come to a "T" junction by some white
		buildings. Turn left and you will see the gas station with a
		sign (I know it wanders, the author of the Scenery Editor is
		working on this...). In addition to the sign it has a covered
		"gassing up area", as yet unsupported due to the wandering
		problem.

	vi)	The large green areas you see with black areas beneath are 
		simple representations of woods and forests. (They are a bit
		more convincing from a distance)

	vii)	The most important addition to this scenery area is the 
		Surveillance Radar Approach. Read the other docs for more
		information on this little beauty!!!

	viii)	I got rid of the nasty car that drove across the threshold of
		runway 28 because it became a nuisance since I added the SRA.
		(It kept driving into me.....)

	ix)	More roads, buildings etc have been added in the village of
		Odiham and the surrounding area.

	x)	The complete ridgeline from NW of Odiham around to the south
		have been added.

	xi)	The Kingsclere mast (300 degrees about 12 miles from Odiham)
		is now truly on top of the ridge and can be seen for sixty
		miles.

	xii)	The lighting gantries around the pan at the north side of the
		airfield have been added.

	xiii)	The whole thing has been custom colored for night and dusk.


	On the whole I think you will be impressed.


	To the south is the airfield of Lasham. This is a major maintainance
facility for civilian airliners. It is positioned fairly accurately but since
it is what is known as an avoid area the makeup of the airfield is fantasy and
for fun only.
