First 2 pictures above (#481) showed the view along runway 09/27 looking west which just happened to point almost directly at my second place of residence in Chesham.
I saw that view several times when we first did gliding at Bovingdon on detachment from Halton in the period 1965 to 1967 although we didn't go that far downwind; cadet flying regs required us to turn base and final on the airfield boundary and not go behind the downwind boundary.
At extreme right is the straight bit of taxiway with trees not far away which we were allocated for the first ever launches.
Regretfully most of the runways have now been totally obliterated by building works in connection with yet another film studio, the famous 'sunday market' has I believe moved to North Weald.
