This is based on the outskirts of the tiny Wiltshire village of Colerne, and has long been a major part of the RAF history in the region and beyond. From 1940-55, this air base stood as the location for RAF Fighter Command units to land at.

It was a major player within the Battle of Britain and as such, it served as a major satellite field for the RAF Middle Wallop. Squadrons regularly came to and from this air base on a daily basis, before it eventually served as a location for military training and for Night Fighters to learn their trade.

It was, between the years of 1948-62, the No. 49 Maintenance Unit RAF holder. This makes it a vital part of British aviation history and this also ensures that it has played a critical role in British aviation history.

Indeed, it eventually became a Transport Airfield with Handley Page Hastings aircraft. By 1967 though it was replaced by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, and the Colerne squadrons started to move into RAF Lyneham. Colerne then became a major engineering base for the Hercules fleet. It also worked on C-130 engineering.

In this take on the airport, then, you get;

  • Excellent aerial view ground polygons that look excellent and manage to capture the terrain as well as the general layout of the region with relative ease.

  • Aligned with full photographic scenery via VFR, ensuring that the likeness of the region can be mastered and put in place with relative ease.

  • Full complement of hangers is now included, with support buildings also included and changed to make sure that it looks as realistic as it possibly can.

  • Night lighting to help you navigate where you are going and what you intend to do as you fly, helping you avoid any major crashes as you fly!

  • A new navigation aid via ILS and VOR/DME which helps you become more accurate as you try and fly here with the help of aids.

  • AI aircraft that fly around the place, although they cannot be controlled. The quality of the aircraft can be scaled for machines that have a higher performance level than others.

  • Technical sites and other accommodation are included, fitting the overall historical look and design of that particular era.
