Well seeing as nobody else is biting, here is a curly one for you folks....





This aerodrome was used for regular tourist flights until a few years ago. It wasn't the main base for the company concerned, but the private strip of one of the company's two owners at the time. The main base was only a short distance away (as the crow flies), but a huge distance away by road (a long, long day's drive). Note the high-voltage power line crossing the runway about half-way along. As you have probably surmised, this is a one-way aerodrome. Takeoffs are always in the opposite direction to landings.
