Fence at Oban?

Did somebody mention a fence? is it across the runway? at the end of the runway, or beside the runway, in parallel?

When some of the users fell out at Enstone, a fence appeared beside the runway, in parallel, and it wasn't long before somebody wrapped it around his aeroplane......

So they repainted the center stripe offcentre, down the official runway, to give a bit more clearance, as the fence is still there. And to make it a licensed airfield, however as training is now permitted at an UNlicensed airfield, they have decided to forget the formalities and just let the users get on with it. But Enstone is owned by the local farmer, not the local authority. Much better arrangement, usually....
