EGNE Retford Gamston Airport

for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Retford Gamston Airport serves as a vital transition point for pilots navigating between the flatlands of the East Midlands and the rugged edges of the Pennines to the west. Originally opened in 1942 as a World War II satellite station for RAF Finningley, Gamston has evolved from its military roots into one of the premier General Aviation and business hubs in the North of England.

Today, Gamston is a bustling airfield known for its high standards and excellent facilities. It serves as a vital base for flight training, private charters, and corporate aviation, while also being the home of the renowned Diamond Aircraft UK distribution and service centre. With its expansive 1,683-meter paved runway, it is capable of handling everything from light microlights to large business jets like King Airs and Citations.

The airfield is also a favourite destination for “fly-in” visitors, thanks to the popular Apron Café, which offers views over the busy tarmac and runway 03/21.

Burning Blue Design has meticulously recreated Retford Gamston Airport, capturing the unique atmosphere of this transition point between the rugged North and the rolling Midlands. Every hangar, sign, and taxiway light has been placed with precision to ensure an unrivalled level of accuracy for your flight simulator.
