Portsmouth Airport X2PM ex-EGHP. For Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Horizon VFR Photographic Scenery Generation X (Vol. 1) only Portsmouth Airport in the south of England was once an important hub for early British package holiday flights to the Channel Islands and France. The airport also housed the Airspeed aircraft factory that was later used to build parts for many famous British post-war airliners such as the Ambassador, Comet and Trident. In 1972, the Portsmouth City Council decided that without tarmac runways, the airport was no longer able to cope with modern aircraft, then coming into service. As the will (and money) to make this investment was not there, they closed the airport and sold the whole site to property developers for housing and commercial use. Today, few traces of this pioneering airport remain. This version of Portsmouth Airport incorporates both older and newer terminal areas, a representation of the Airspeed factory and has many detailed scenery objects and authentic period AI traffic, by Trevor Clark.
