The slightest of remains
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 19 Sep 2012
Along this unassuming and otherwise quiet road are these concrete kerbstones. They are in fact the front footings of a group of aircraft hangars that were constructed in the early 1900s. Flying was an amazing new mode of transport and gained its earliest faltering attempts here on this part of Salisbury Plain. The old hangars have long since been demolished and the trees are now close to erasing all traces. See Image] for another view of hangars that are still in use, just a few hundred yards down the road.
