FSX Scenery–Walney Island Airport (EGNL) UK. The airport is owned by BAE Systems, who operate private communication flights to various locations across the United Kingdom. Barrow/Walney Island airport was opened during World War II, though the site had been used as an airship station since World War I. Three runways were constructed, laid out in a triangular arrangement, for use by the based Royal Air Force flying units. The airfield was left disused after WWII, and was sold on in 1959 to Vickers, the company that owned Barrow shipyard at the time. The triangular shaped runway system can be seen from 140 miles above sea level. By Gordon Barnes. 450 Kb
