FSX/P3D – RAF Lyneham

FSX/P3D – RAF Lyneham (EGDL), wiltshire, UK. This accurate and detailed scenery of RAF Lyneham has been in development for 2 years, but in fact started in 2005 when a version was released to the general flight sim community as a freeware addon for fs2004. Since then microsoft released the fsx platform with many improvements. With the closure of the airbase in 2012 due to defence cuts, I have released this tribute to the services performed by the base, it’s fleet and it’s airmen since the early 50’s. Great time has been spent in research and detail to replicate the base as accurate as possible as it was when it closed in 2012. My connection with the base goes back to the early 70’s when the Comet C4 and Bristol Britannia were stationed there. I feel proud to have spent time flying in those aircraft, the first jet airliner and first turboprop aircraft before they were retired in the 70’s. Of course the base also housed the c130 hercules transport fleet, which continued right up to the closure of the base last year. The base also saw the introduction of the c130J a few years ago to replace the aging c130k aircraft which have now been retired, with the present c130j fleet being moved to the nearby base of Brize norton.
