FSX Scenery--RAF Breighton, UK. The airfield was built between 1940 and 1942 for No. 1 Group RAF. Its first residents were the No. 460 Squadron RAAF. From 1959 to 1963, as part of Project Emily, the base was a launch site for three nuclear-armed PGM-17 Thor intermediate-range ballistic missiles, operated by No. 240 Squadron RAF. The base closed in March 1964, when the last active unit (which operated the Bristol Bloodhound air-defence missile) withdrew. By Terry Boissel.
