OK, got it..................just down the road from me.......but no where I was looking, as I looking along the approach to 25 which doesn't cross the A30, hence why I was confused!!
So, has to be a fake then as no way would you be going in that direction and at that height if you were trying to get down onto 25.........in something the size of a 4 jet alirliner.......unless he was on a very tight low circuit as he would be needed to turn pretty sharpish very soon......?
I reckon if that photo is real, that is pretty much following the direction of the River Blackwater/current A331 heading north-west....almost on a parallel course to the old 32 runway, just about 2 miles too far east.....!??!?
