I lived there for many years in a place called Bracebridge Heath before migrating to Australia in 2010. BBH is a small village almost visible in that screenshot and about 1 mile from Waddington air base; there was always a huge amount of aerial activity visible in Lincolnshire..... from the Red Arrows at RAF Scampton, the Eurofighter Typhoon at RAF Cottesmore, the battle of Britain memorial flight, the E-3D sentry at RAF Waddington, the Harrier jump jets at Wittering, and the RAF flight training academy at Cranwell also just down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many different planes to see flying around from down south. Vulcans, Hastings and with Binbrook close by quite a few Lightnings, what a sight and sound they were. Also I can remember the high flyers such as LH747s. I enjoyed going past Scampton one afternoon on the coach and seeing the Lancaster gate guardian. Very sad to see that Scampton is earmarked for closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydor Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 A classic shot, I loved the PNW when ORBX first released it for FSX. Now the enjoyment starts all over again with the release of the true earth series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
