Saunton Sands
During our trials there was a fire cover det on the beach plus our ground party and vehicles. The beach wasn't closed and our guys just patrolled the area. If someone came over and was interested our guys escorted them and let them have a closer look. After one landing one of the guys came over with ice cream cones - slight delay before next take-off while we enjoyed them. Marked strip was 2500 feet then turning area so only approx 3000 feet used out of beach several miles long. All take-offs were from hotel end and all landings towards hotel end as that was where we had our equipment and observers.
Video somewhere on youtube.
Was near Saunton recently and had coffee in café next to beach at hotel end. Aviation postcards there had one of a 30Sqn J on the beach.
