RAF Binbrook: End of an Era Scenery for FSX/P3D

The air base was most commonly used by Bomber Command and provided a significant strategic starting point for many a bombing run. That being said, post-war it served as a home for other groups such as the Central Fighter Establishment. Perhaps its most famous use though was the base where the last two RAF squadrons flying the English Electric Lightning aircraft from 1965-1988.

Today, much of the old area is gone, replaced by industrial estate housing for businesses. It also offers a large memorial for the 460 Squadron with names of former heroes who lost their lives.

This add-on for FSX and P3D, then, relives the final decade of the air base before it was closed down and reconverted into a village. If you would like to add a nice piece of aviation history from British military performance, this is the place to start.
