Use this link

to bring up google earth.
you are above the old airfield with the new airfield top right
move yourself over the new airfield.
use the keys to do a 360 rotation and you will see why it was a circling approach, it doesnt leave a lot of room for 5 mile finals.
google earth is really cool for this sort of perspective.
