Do you mean the runway or the bit at 90 degrees to it ?

sycamore 15th May 2019 16:33

If that`s the runway,then it looks like it`s repaired by the same crew who do the potholes around here...
Water..? sea or lake ?

I cannot believe that you or anyone else hasn't located it by now.

I've just entered the obvious words into Goggle and it comes up immediately.
