Former Nutt's Corner airfield

The Nutt's Corner airfield was where the Province's first London air service started in 1934. It became an RAF base during World War II and reverted to a civil airport again in 1946. By the end of the 1950's it had become unsuitable for modern aircraft and operations ceased. Nowadays it is the site of a motor-racing circuit though local complaints about noise restricted its use, a Sunday market, the Ulster Karting Club, a model aircraft club and this industrial site, which to me looks like a battery egg producing facility though I am open to correction on this.
