Addon Scenery for FSX/FSX-SE - Module 6: Americanbase_Hythe
By Barrie Semmens : FlightSem Software (c) 2013-2024
RAF Hythe was originally a Royal Air Force base situated in Hythe, Hampshire, 10 miles South of Southampton on the Southern side of Southampton Water and some 500 yards East of Hythe Pier. The site was acquired by the South East England Development Agency in October, 2007. It has since been developed into ‘Hythe Marine Park’, home to a number of maritime and marine production facilities.
From 1967 the facilities were used mainly for small boat repairs by the US Field Army Support Brigade/Combat Equipment Battalion-Hythe. At this time, the base became known as RAF (Hythe) American Base as it had been operated by the American Army since 1960; its function was to service and maintain watercraft. The base, the last U.S. Army installation in the United Kingdom, closed on the 30th September, 2006 after the American Army left following a cost-cutting exercise.
