Pre-WW2 flight: Vickers Vernon RAF

[peer01]

Took this freeware vintage JBK bird on a (FSX) flight from Andrewsfield (didn't know Andrew Claridge has his own private strip) South to Wisley in Surrey. Wisley was a "secret" parallel strip next to Brooklands. All original buildings looked like farmhouses, even the control tower.

Ready at Andrewsfield
















Over the river Thames and the London Docks


Over Surrey, close to Brooklands

Descending over Brooklands


Brooklands in the 30's had a famous flying school and the Vickers factory was situated there


Turning towards Wisley, only 4 miles away from Brooklands








This shed must be an after WW2 one




Taxiing to the original "camouflaged" buildings


Parked in front of the "tower"


Thanks for looking!

Thanks Constinator Alex and Hansz, much appreciated!

Alex, she behaves very gentle, even on a (slow) approach with a little crosswind. The open cockpit is cold, but a small bottle of rum helped a bit
