Our starting point - the south-eastern end of Runway 2.
A stop on the main runway as was - Runway 1 - it's atthis point we have a good view to the west of the airfield, where we can also view one of the remaining base defence pillboxes.
Intersection area of Runways 1 and 3, with view across to the Technical Site and location of the now demolished Control Tower.
At the northern end of Runway 3, standing on what once the large turning circle at the head of the runway.
On the perimeter track, between hardstand points 19 and 20, once the home of the 545th Bomb Squadron.
