Might not fit @Reflected desire for accuracy…

… but seeing this cross-channel campaign made me wonder weather the South Atlantic map could reasonably host some of the Banff Strike Wing anti-shipping missions???

Yes, I have seen those…

I just wondered whether Reflected might be tempted to bring their excellent touch to Coastal Command - or whether the AltMap scenario would be too much of a fiction

Indeed that would be awsome and suggested similar in a few youtube comments to Reflected.  As for 100% accuracy he does say this in  V for Victory campaign intro  So in a way, the campaign is not a historical one, because there was no single squadron in the RAF that flew all of these mission types one after the other. These units would be specialized in a few of those instead. Still, I would call it a ‘bouquet’ of historically accurate recreations of a wide variety of missions flown by these brave airmen  A similar approach maybe used for a Banff Strike Wing campaign.  The big compromise is there is no Scotland or Norway map so South Atlantic would have to be used.

Some information on therir missions are given in this article https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-press-and-journal-inverness-highlands-and-islands/20200418/282510070701254 

I know the Banff area very well.  The runways are still there and there is a website worth looking at for historical information http://rafbanfftrust.org/archive/index.html If you ever visit the area there is a memorial on the main Banff to Inverness road.
