Now that is the dogs wotsits. Where is the airfield
though?


Just south a bit and a little east:

Whoops .. that's the original URL :-(

To get there by panning, go east until the damn waqll is filling your
screen, then south and you'll see a canal. Follow the canal until the
second bridge over it. The airfield is lust east of the canal.
