ikbenik Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) A very nice modelled scenery by Orbx-partner Burning Blue Design is Thruxton Aerodrome(EGHO) near Andover in Hampshire and about 35Km north of Southampton. Simular to Goodwood, it's currently the innerpart of a race-circuit but the aerodrome was during WW II an important RAF-Base. Hereby an areal photo from 1945 with scattered around remaining gliders, ready to be scrapped of the type that whas used to transport army-men over The Channel. Actual situation-view of the aerodrome My discovery tour begins with arrival in a light sportsplane and also to take the wheel of a fast racecar for touring around the aerodrome. After a thrilling fast drive around in a Porsche 911GT3, back in my sportsplane and fly to a new destination.

wain71 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 nice set of shots, a great looking addon, this is the fastest circuit in the UK, Church is an amazing corner to stand on when you are working trackside as I did in the 90's... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Johnny I have highlighted Church, the 1 series BMW in the BTCC takes this corner at around 140mph and we were usually stood a few metres on the inside of the track, waiting to pick up the pieces, I went around it once in a Mercedes Sprinter doing 75mph and thought I was going too fast 😁...the shot you said about is the chicane at the top of the hill, you come around church, up Brooklands and then try to outbreak everyone going into the chicane, can be carnage at times hence the grandstand...we used to have truck racing there in the 90's to...I worked as fire / rescue on race days for about 9 years.... @stiletto2 thanks for the map... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andiflyit Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Nice set Johnny. It's a bit larger competition for the good old Goodwood...🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
