This happened after we (GMP ASU) had departed the airfield to go to a task in Cheshire. On our return we saw the fire engines in the distance and thought we had left the oven on again. Sadly it was the Enstrom. About an hour later another fire was started a short distance away in a reclaimation yard, this time only tyres and rubbish but to add a little spice they put a couple of gas cylinders on. There have been a spat of fires in the local area laterly. To reassure operators at Barton we do check the airfield at night with the thermal camera everytime we take off or land and do have a good relationship with Lancs Aero club and regularly check things for them.
