@ Linedog:
Admittedly I was confused with the photograph initially. It actually makes the HAS seem closer than it actually is. The HAS is on the Southern (617 Sqn) side of Runway 23/05.
The incident aircraft made an approach and sucessful touch down on Runway 23 (i.e. heading in a roughly westerly direction). Due to the as yet unknown cause of the incident, it is now sitting to the north of Runway 23 pointing in a NW / NNW direction - just before the intersection of the 2 runways. I have said about 6000 ft along Runway 23 - obviously I haven't been out there with a measuring tape, but it's close enough for Government work
