This track once led east to, and beyond, Shirdfold Farm. However, with the construction of Woodford Aerospace factory, the runway now cuts across the path and access is no longer possible via this route.

Avro Vulcan XM603
The Avro Vulcan was a jet-powered delta wing strategic bomber which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. As a part of the V-force, the Vulcan was the backbone of the United Kingdom’s airborne nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War . Although the Vulcan was typically armed with nuclear weapons, it was also capable of conventional bombing missions and was used in combat in the Falklands War of 1982 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War . The last Vulcan was withdrawn from service in 1984 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan Wikipedia).
Avro Vulcan XM603 is one of the 19 surviving Vulcan Bombers which were designed and built at Woodford for the Royal Air Force. There are plans to convert the former aerodrome’s fire station into a museum and to house a Vulcan (this one?) as one of the exhibits. This view taken from the perimeter fence along Old Hall Lane.

Woodford Back Lanes
This gate has seen better days, and the fastening is definitely Heath-Robinson. The rutted track leads to the barn just beyond the trees.
