The Netherlands VFR enhancement - Nieuwe Haven Royal Netherlands Navy base

Do you like flying VFR and watching the World below you? Do you sometimes feel that something is missing?.

The default Bing map blurs military base and buildings/airports. I would like to show people who fly VFR what this city is beautiful with the extra content/earial imaging with thanks to Google. Its not all military locations in the surrounding erea there are more lacation i would like to add just like the the slightly further away military airfield De Kooy (EHKD). or more to the dike fort Erfprins.

- If there are people saying what is still missing I like to hear it. I know that the standard generated buildings are not correct in many places. I like to seek help from people who can help me with the creation of the current buildings. such as the iconic building dock VI that can be seen from miles away that rises high above the city.

  Wikipedia:

Nieuwe Haven is a Royal Netherlands Navy base in Den Helder and the largest naval base in the Netherlands.

Already before World War I, Willemsoord had become too small for major warships. The wet dock was 325 m (1,066 ft 3 in) long and 135 m (442 ft 11 in) wide. The entrance was at the long side, and by then even light cruisers were about 120 m (393 ft 8 in) long. In the 1920s the light cruiser Java of 155 m (508 ft 6 in) could not visit the wet dock. After World War II, the Dutch government established a commission to find a site for a new naval base. It was given a choice between IJmuiden, Rotterdam, Vlissingen or Den Helder. In 1947 it was decided Den Helder would become the Netherlands' main naval base. A definitive plan for the new harbor was completed in 1948 and estimated its cost at 29 million florins.

For the construction of the new harbor an area east of the Nieuwediep was selected. Construction started in 1949 when the mouth of the Nieuwediep was dammed off. Reclaimed land was used to built the base. The new western part was officially opened in 1954 by HNLMS Karel Doorman. The rest of the base was completed in 1958.

Since the move of the submarine service from Rotterdam to the Nieuwe Haven, all naval vessels have Den Helder as their home port.
