Not much of an overshoot there- the runway's blocked halfway down! I assume you were going for the grass

Thought it might be South Marston before Honda got their hands on it, but looking at Googly it doesn't match up....hmmm...

Ok - here's a fairly (very?) obscure one. I think this satisfies the old photo rule!

Lord knows. Just a hunch.

Lack of horizon perhaps.

Here's a nice easy one albeit obscured by a little well placed cumulous.

St Mawgan?

Last one was Brough - taken by my father who fortunately wrote on the backs of his pics...'our 4 aeroplanes at Brough, Nov '59. Under the massive wing of a Beverley. Part of Blackburn's Factory at right rear, sea wall in rear at left'

Looks familiar - but I'm very intrigued by that big curved tyre mark. Not the only skid mark that happened that day I guess!

And a touch low on the glide slope!
