I remember London Airport with its 1960s two-bar wooden fence. I know military/MOD airfields had fences back then. I didn’t realise other civil airports had them.

They didn’t have wire fences around airports back then, or cameras.

I wonder if he had to cut a hole in the fence to get his camera lense through. 😀

Love the photos, and the ones on the Edinburgh site are super too. Love the Skyways and the Air Luton C-47s.
