shott is a busy GA airfield situated in Northumberland, in the extreme north eastern corner of England.

Originally an RAF airfield, it now has two new tarmac runways that have been laid over the old original ones and has the capacity to home up to 70 light GA and micro-light aircraft in its new hangars.

Known throughout the GA world as a very friendly place, it is the perfect location from which to explore the Northumberland coast and Scottish borders.

Portsmouth Airport in the south of England was once an important hub for early package holiday flights to the Channel Islands and France. The airport also housed the Airspeed aircraft factory that was later taken over by de Havilland and later was used to build parts for several British airliners like the Airspeed Ambassador, DH Comet and HS Trident. In 1973, the city council who owned the site decided that without tarmac runways, the airport was no longer able to cope with more modern aircraft. As the will (and money) to make this investment was not there, they closed the site and sold it all to property developers for housing and commercial use.
This scenery was made using old photos and personal memories, so is not 100% accurate. It incorporates both older and newer terminal areas, the Airspeed factory and has many detailed scenery objects, authentic period AI traffic.

Westonzoyland in Somerset was built in 1944 as a joint base for the RAF and USAAF in World War 2; it continued as an RAF fighter station until closing in 1958. The airfield also borders the site of the last battle fought on English soil, the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685.

Today, a section of the airfield has been converted as a centre for light GA and micro-light aircraft operations. The approach to the runways can be challenging, with trees, a busy main road (A372) and electricity wires all being sited close to the airfield. This scenery includes AI aircraft and road traffic, animated scenery objects and auto-gen trees for the local area.

Weston-on-the-Green in Oxfordshire is the home of the Royal Air Force Sport Parachute Association. Originally a military airfield with it’s origins in World War One, Weston has been the home of RAF parachuting for almost half a century.
This scenery includes auto-gen trees for the local area, moving road traffic and an AI jump aircraft.

The South Coast of England was once the United Kingdom’s front line of air defence. One of the most famous airfields in Fighter Command was Royal Air force Tangmere, the station played a leading role in the Battle of Britain and later spearheaded the allied counter attack in northern France. Many famous names were associated with Tangmere including the legendary legless ace Sir Douglas Bader. After WW 2, it was upgraded with tarmac runways and concrete blast shelters for the next generation of jet fighters

Bognor and Bracklesham two resorts from my youth that have (or had) 'unknown' aviation connections.Just set the season in FSX to summer and the virtual weather to warm and sunny and fly down to ‘Sussex-by-the-Sea’ for a day by the sea!

The Home of AV Roe and Fairey AviationThe airfield was used for over 50 years but sadly is no more.This version has been produced from memory by Trevor who commenced his ATC training here in the early 1970’s, (rumor has it before he could or needed to shave). Please see the included Readme file for further details.

Oxenhope International, so named because a chap from France using 25 year old charts landed here by mistake and or a shortage of fuel back in the 1970’s. If you like your airfields with short runways and stone boundary walls then test your skill here. Unless you have an ultralight you won’t leave here in one piece without flaps.

Royal Air Force Thorney Island was an important operational station from 1938 until 1974. It is located on the south coast of the United Kingdom between the cities of Chichester and Portsmouth. Because of the picturesque coastal setting and good transport links, it was always a popular posting for RAF servicemen and women. Since 1982 it has been known as Baker Barracks and is currently home to a Royal Artillery unit of the British Army.

Rougham, (near the town of Bury St.Edmunds in Suffolk in the UK) was originally built for the USAAF during WW2. Today, part of the old airfield has been adapted for private light aircraft operations, however it is somewhat basic! The old military control tower and some old buildings have been preserved and operate as a museum, dedicated to those who lost their lives flying from the base. It is well known for hosting a popular air show, every summer

Deanland is a small private airfield situated beneath the beautiful South Downs in East Sussex near the town of Lewes. Built (as a temporary fighter airfield) in 1944 for Spitfire squadrons of the Polish Air Force to support D-Day operations and later to counter the V-1 threat until closing in 1945. It reopened as a much smaller privately owned airfield in 1963. Nowadays Deanland is the home to several small GA aircraft, micro-lights; radio- controlled model aircraft flying and is now also a forward operating/refueling base for the Sussex Police helicopter.

Linley Hill, East Yorkshire.Small airfield but great tea in the clubroom. Why not stop in when passing.
