Kirkbride Airfield was opened in May 1939, it's role was as a storage and maintenance base to keep aircraft safe after being built at various factories before going onto be delivered to a frontline unit. No16 Ferry Pilots Pool of the Air Transport Auxiliary was formed at the airfield because of the number of movements the airfield was seeing during the first years of WWII. Their base was set up in what is now the White Heather Hotel. No.12 MU (maintenance unit) was also set up on the airfield and between 1939 and 1960 they would of dealt with just about every aircraft in RAF service, history shows they ranged from Austers to Liberators. After the war had finished the airfield was as a giant storage area for unwanted airframes. No12 MU remained at the airfield until 1960 when the last aircraft to leave was a Gloster Meteor NF14 and the airfield was closed by the RAF.

Nice job! I used to have a nice little version of this airfield in XP11, and loved to take hops from Newcastle > Carlisle > Kirkbride in GA and Microlight aircraft. Can do this in MSFS now. Thanks again!

Thanks for the comment sir.
Lot to be done on it yet! But I did a version for X-plane 11 just using the stock XP11 objects and didint get round to using custom ones and with MSFS have a chance to.
It's a great airfield to fly out from in MSFS using an ultralight and has some wonderful scenery!
