This was taken only a few short years ago.
This was taken:
- Before Soar really took off as you can only see about 5 yellow aircraft
- Before the toxic mound of soil was built on the NW corner
- Post the Oxford being placed where the playground was
- During the Oxford accommodation being built
- Before the Oxford 172's filled the apron at the base of the tower
- Before the massive construction works and the road re-opening on the south-west corner
- Before money-grabbing RTO's became a "thing"
In the scheme of things, quite a lot has happened in recent times, aviation related.
