Maybe some historical event in aviation happened here?

It looks like a sign that simply indicates an airport nearby. Are there airports close to where these signs are posted?

Yeah I would go for Jeanske's theory, a landmark for where an event connected with the century of flight has taken place.

Yes, I was flying around Southend airport.
The aircraft is, I assume, a Lockheed Vega, the aircraft that took the first woman across the Atlantic Ocean by plane. Did it land here?

Maybe it is just the show-sign of the local pub? :)

They're all over FS9, I wasn't sure what they meant either, I reckon just a way of filling in space without using the usual tree or 'LEGO' house :p
