Wonderful picture – I’ll miss her! The first interesting thing I’ve seen at Deenethorpe since they demolished the control tower about 10 years ago. There are planning applications posted at the airfield to divert the public bridleway (presumably away from the perimeter road which it now uses). Perhaps that’s a prelude to making the airfield more secure. Hope so – I’d love to see some more activity there.

If the rain stays off I’ll pop up there with a digital canera this afternoon. There’s nowhere to park nearby on the A427 and its quite a walk from the lay-by near the memorial, so there’s plenty of opportunity to get wet! As far as I know there’s no infrastructure apart from a couple of portacabins and a small modern hangar (for light aircraft?). Really don’t know what the score is with landing a big aircraft like a DC-6 there. I guess the local populace won’t complain if its not landing and taking off frequently.
I’d like to have it in MY backyard, but most folk…..
