Were you at the East end of the base by any chance as the scenery looks very familiar? Either that or they’ve cut the hedge at the Western end-at last, they’ve been needing to do that for years.

We were parked on Station Road under the approach path for RWY 26 and one of the other guys there did mention that they’d finally cut the hedge down to size.

It’s a great location on sunny days like that as you can just sit in the car and wait and get out when you need to, the way it is right now gives some fantastic angles when they’re on approach.

There’s also a petrol station a mile or two down the road if you need drinks etc, you’ll have to ask Tom where the location is that produced that first Tristar image! I just followed him till we got to this dead end country road which led to a crash gate next to the runway.

Cheers for the comments all :).

Great photos Tom! Was good to see you for a few hours.

Nice angle on the first Tristar, we should drive down all roads that say ” VILLAGE ONLY, NO THROUGH ROAD ” if that is the result!

Thanks mate 😀 and yes well, as you could tell I was already getting ready to do a U-turn and head back. At least you didn’t lead us to a persons driveway/garden this time ;):diablo:.
