Situated 10 miles SW of Cardiff, RAF St Athan
officially opened on 1st September 1938.
The first unit to take up residence was No4 School
of Technical Training.
In 1939, the stations activities were expanded
with the arrival of a fighter group pool,
ths School of Air Navigation,
and a Maintenance Unit..
During WW2, the station had over 14,000 personnel,
and training units turned out thousands of Flight Engineers, ground mechanics,radar and
radio operators, as well as navigators.
Since the war, the station has evolved into a vast engineering complex, responsible for deep servicing
of all types of RAF aircraft.
It is said to be the largest RAF base in the world.
Due to the large number of hangars, and workshops in
place at this airfield, the scenery does not depict my usual technical and domestic buildings.
This scenery is compatible with the VF\JF\GM VFR scenery.
