I've heard that they'll also be a Chinook and Dakota(?!) for London, not sure if they're going to the other cities too though?

To be fair, both Gan and Mount Pleasant are there - you just need to adjust the date sliders to reveal them.

Seriously?? It doesn't say 'we have a dedicated RAF airfield in Gibraltar' does it?! Perhaps check your facts before RAF mud slinging just for the sake of it...

The map is interesting, accurate as far as I can see - how is BH in the wrong place? - and very easy to use as long as, you know, you bother to read the instructions.
It's a very interesting at useful resource.

As for the spellings mistakes - I agree quality control clearly not up to scratch.

I did check my facts and, as far as I am aware, there is no "RAF Gilbraltar" but there is RAF Gibraltar - I have been there many times.
As subsequently pointed out, the error I highlighted is not the only one and, before anyone else starts on about spelling not being important, the web site has been specifically designed and produced as a teaching aid for school children and, as such, should be checked and re-checked for accuracy, grammar and spelling before being published. It is no wonder that children are being failed by the education system of today.
Cheers,
Ralph.

Same with Detling, but that appears to be in Surrey...
I'm sure they aren't the only ones.
