A 1954 Cessna 170B, registration G-AORB taxys towards the holding point of grass R/W 26. The runway is 914 metres in length and has a partner, out of shot to the left: R/W 21/03, some 14 metres shorter. The Little Chef, just above the port wingtip, is the other side of the A303. A few hundred metres further east on that road is a petrol station; right in line with R/W 26. Landing aircraft have to undertake an offset approach to avoid flying over the pumps.
