Nice shots from a very different perspective. 🙂

I’ve got to say that if this new building is by the M11 it will be the wrong end! The approach to the threshold of the runway surely be partly obscured during the curved approach of the warbirds. Also it will spoil the current ‘open sky’ effect for clear photos. If this is not considered important, ask the Shuttleworth photographers if the aerial mast spoilt the view.
I can see the new building next to the Land Warfare Hall. Access for the Paras drop aircraft would be passable. Most of the new style buildings would then be together and not engulfing the historic site.
I also think that ultimately the airfield (and perhaps the runway) will have to be extended into the field at the western end.

The location is on top of a high cliff. Careful over the edge there is a railway line below. 🙂
On a clear day take your binoculars and imagine watching the bombers coming from France.

Only the Hurricane was there on the 13th August when I visited. See:- http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=29950&highlight=Capel

======================

The Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It Plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin not sea

Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong

Eye have run this poem threw
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Great pics 🙂 nonetheless……………..strange to see the tornado with only one after burner on.

I watched them do this at Lossie a couple of years ago. Practice engine failure with wings swept back approach! One engine on afterburner to give go round power. Very spectacular!
