Two former RAF airfields can be seen this side of the river. The brown V shape below the bend in the river is the former RAF Goxhill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Goxhill . Former RAF North Killingholms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_North_Killingholme can be seen nearer the oil tanks, towards the lower right corner. Barrow Upon Humber and the Immingham oil refineries are also visible this side of the Humber. Kingston Upon Hull is on the opposite bank, with the North Sea visible beyond the coast.
