5/5 (6)


RAF Honington (IATA: BEQ, ICAO: EGXH) is a Royal Air Force station located 6 mi (9.7 km) south of Thetford near Ixworth in Suffolk, England. It was used as a bomber station during the Second World War and through the Cold War, hosting Handley Page Victors, Hawker Siddeley (Blackburn) Buccaneers and Panavia Tornado GR1/GR1A's. RAF Honington has been the RAF Regiment depot since 1994.

I have created the scenery to represent closer to as it was in 1994 when the Tornados were present including removing buildings from the TWCU ASP.

13 Squadron occupies the North West HAS site and I have placed some TWCU GR1's in the old 9 Squadron HAS site.

The scenery includes:

  • Fully custom objects with photoreal PBR textures.
  • Full night lighting including custom taxi lights.
  • Full custom ground poly.
  • Custom terrain is using the latest mesh from the UK update
  • Static Tornado Gr1/Gr1's of both the TWCU and 13 Squadron.

Runway 27 ILS is HT 112.0.

The scenery requires you have the UK World update installed for the terrain.

If data is turned off and offline mode is used, then some trees may disappear while others appear where they are not supposed to and you may also experience terrain issues.

The scenery is a updated version of my freeware version which is no longer supported and was not available to XBOX users.

The scenery will updated over time updating many other models and textures.

A big thanks to John Young and Ricardo Morilla for the use of some of their models and textures including Johns excellent static GR1/GR1A models.

It is important to note that the static Tornados were kindly donated (not for profit) by John Young and are a conversion from his excellent AI models from previous simulations.

I am hoping to build RAF Lossiemouth, Marham and Valley in the future so if anyone has any recent on base photos or could arrange for me to take photos please email me as it would be much appreciated.
