FS 2004
RAF Croydon for FS9
London's original airport. A RFC airfield in WW1, and the only international airport in the UK during the interwar period, and the base for the
first British national airline, Imperial airways and the starting point for European and international routes to Africa,India and Australia.
It was from Croydon that Amy Johnson started her 1930 solo flight to Australia and was the finishing point for Charles Lindbergh's
transatlantic flight in the "Spirit of st Louis".
An important Battle of Britain airfield, alongside its close neighbors Kenley and Biggin Hill, Croydon was heavily attacked on 15 August resulting in much
damage to the control building and hangar's. Restored too its pre war art deco glory, Croydon ended commercial aviation in 1959 with the opening of Heathrow.
Ive kept the WW2 objects to a minimum, and can be removed by removing the "Croydon WW2.bgl" should you want to return the airfield to purely civilian era.
By summer 1940, camouflage was applied and draped with camo netting, but i like the look of the original texture's, so ive gone with them
