This add-on comprises the local surface tiles, runways, and stock buildings with four extra roof textures. It does not require any other add-ons.
Tested only on Orbiter2010-P1.
It has three simple scenarios for the DG, ShuttleA and ShuttlePB.
Future expansion packs will include the P2 Engine Test Cell, used for testing the Blue Streak engines, a lox plant, kerosone storage, base traffic and UCGO/UMMU activity. 

Installation:

Extract to the Orbiter directory, keeping directory paths, then add these lines 

WestcottRoof01
WestcottRoof02
WestcottRoof03
WestcottRoof04

between 
; === List of generic textures ===
BEGIN_TEXTURES
...
and
...
END_TEXTURES
in the Config\Base.cfg file, keeping all existing entries.

Surface textures information: 
Level zero tiles:  4
Level one tiles:   2
Level three tiles  4
Level five tiles:    2
Level seven tiles: 2
Level nine tiles:   201

The wartime base had three runways, 07/25, 13/31 and 18/36. All three are in the add-on, but only 13/31 is enabled.
To enable the others remove the ";" character at the start of each runway entry line in the \Westcott.cfg file.
The ";" character is a comment symbol and all entries after it are ignored.

Example:
;RUNWAY
;	END1 -640 0 93
;	END2 575 0 245
;	WIDTH 40
;	RWTEX Runway2
;	NRWSEG 15
;	RWSEG1 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 1 0.85
;	.....
and so on till
;	...
;END

Remove all ";" charcters to get

RUNWAY
	END1 -640 0 93
	END2 575 0 245
	WIDTH 40
	RWTEX Runway2
	NRWSEG 15
	RWSEG1 1 0.025 0.5 0.75 1 0.85
	.....
and so on till
	...
END
