Often fly over Ockham (ex Bae Wisley) but was actually there a couple of weeks ago as the old runway was the park and ride for the Brooklands centenary event.

Was surprised to see two lengths of Armco barrier across the runway part way down making a sort of goat pen. It wouldn't be funny to hit one of them.

Lesson - always make sure you have a protected area to land on before you try it .... or it could end in tears ... an your insurer mightn't be too happy.
