St Angelo / Lough Erne / Grosvenor
Two shots, the first taken shortly before the Wessex / Puma line moved from Angelo to Grosvenor.
XV728 ‘A’ on 27:08:1995 with JJ C****, Si C*********** and J****n W****y. XT607‘P’ is just visible on the helipad below and slightly ahead of ‘Alpha’s’ nose, with the rest of the camp extending to the right of the frame and Ballycassidy sawmills beyond. The newly-surfaced RWY 33 of the civil airport points towards the wartime seaplane base at Castle Archdale some six miles to the north-west amongst the inlets and islands of Lower Lough Erne. Not the best Fermanagh weather for what could have been a much more scenic view. Within ten minutes the sun was shining.
Just as it was for this view of XW223 over a closed and deserted Grosvenor Barracks at Coles Hill, Enniskillen fourteen years later.
Landmarks are Rossorry Church, Drummee limestone quarry, now a landfill site, Coles Hill / Lough Shore Road housing developments, Navar Viewpoint, Lower Lough Erne and the hills of Donegal, beyond on the distant horizon. Might post a couple more from that area.
