FSX Walney Island Airport Scenery

Walney Island Airport (EGNL) scenery brings the BAE Systems airfield near Barrow-in-Furness to life in FSX, recreating key layout details from satellite imagery, including the distinctive World War–era triangular runway pattern. It captures the site’s RAF heritage and modern private-flight role for more immersive UK regional operations.

A twin-engine aircraft flies above a coastal airport with intersecting runways, with "Walney Island" and "EGNL" labeled on the scenery.

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.
