FSX – RAF Wellingore

FSX – RAF Wellingore, Lincolnshire England. This is my interpretation of the fighter station RAF Wellingore, in Lincolnshire. I have used a little poetic licence in placing the 8 L type blister hangers and the small technical area to the north west of the airfield, I hope you enjoy my effort. Initially, Wellingore opened during the first world war in 1917. I am guessing that it was used by the Royal Naval Air Service as it was the relief landing ground for Training Establishment Cranwell. With the onset of world war 2 the unit under went improvement works gaining the concrete peritrack and 6 e type fighter pen and 8 type L blister hangers. A number of squadrons serviced at the station before it final closure 1945. I have attempted to re-produce the unit as it may of looked during its war years but as photographs are scarce some of it may not be true to life, but I am sure the simmers amongst us will enjoy having another Lincolnshire airfield to fly in to.
