FSX Scenery--RAF Snetterton Heath, UK. RAF Snetterton Heath is a former Royal Air Force station located southeast of the A11, 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of Attleborough, Norfolk, England. Opened in 1942 the station was used throughout WWII by various units of the USAAF. With the end of military control Snetterton Heath was privately purchased in 1952 with a view to utilizing the runways and perimeter tracks as a motor racing circuit. The first motor cycle meeting was held in 1953 and the first motor races the following year. Today, banking and safety barriers have transformed the airfield and Snetterton Circuit is used extensively; not only for local club, national, as well as international racing, but for the testing and development of new designs of motor cycles and cars.
