Welcome to Flying Stations - home of quality Royal Navy-based add-ons for FSX, FS2004 and SFP1. We are a group dedicated to reproducing some of the Royal Navy, Fleet Air Arm and to some extent RAF's, finest ships and aircraft, and specialise in bringing as accurate as possible handling and attention to detail to FSX and FS2004 users. We have several projects planned for 2010, so check back for details.

November 2009: New English Electric Canberra models under production

While not really 'salty' (barring their spell in FRADU), Flying Stations is currently producing a new range of EE/BAC Canberra models for FS2004 (most likely with FSX compatibilty). Starting with the standard B.2, the range will then focus on the more 'experimental' variants, as well as those 'odd balls' that served as one-off test beds. This being said, the line is planned to include bomber canopy 'goldfish bowl' types only at present, such as the T.11, T.22, T.17 and many others. Production has been underway since the late summer, and updates will be posted here.
