Canberras were once operated here - in support of Operation Grapple (UK H-bomb tests). And, of course, Canberras were at Binbrook for many years!
You have control.

French National Gliding Centre, I trained as a glider instructor there,
and that was a long time ago, nostalgia, nostalgia ...
the place being also famous for its wave lift, spiraling is not always required
No pics available, so the house is open

Oui, C'est ca St. Auban Home of the CNVV
I was down that way flying balloons last week, and just had time for a drive-by but no time to fly
next time...
The 'cloud' of dots in the middle of the pic, are midge like flies which get absolutely everywhere as soon as you climb out of the car- little baarstards

Ok Andy, this might be considered rather obscure, obtained this from a friend in the north. I'll remove if it's just too parochial.
Just to make things a little easier/fairer:
View is looking west towards the Atlantic.
It's had scheduled services for 40 years, wasn't a military 'drome.
It's not Islay, or indeed anywhere in the west of Scotland.

No more obscure than some we've had on here! No idea where it is though...time for research...

It's Scotland, it's an island, the North Sea is behind the aircaft. Couple more islands on the western horizon with airstrips a mile apart. (Tiger mate heads out to the car for the road atlas!).
