East Fortune airfield, 2006

I love all the textures in this old corrugated transportable aircraft hanger from the early 1940s. The windows still have black-out paint on them, and on the inside you can still see the markings for areas for spare parts for Mosquitos and Beaufighters.

Not the tasty sort, but nice to know the origin of the bricks here at East Fortune airfield. I wonder how many bricks have a name on them, like this? It makes every wall a potential time capsule for the day when it is knocked down, and a trace of a perhaps long-gone local industry is revealed.

Sadly this is my camera's relatively low-quality automatically-generated JPEG preview of this shot. I managed to wipe the shot from my memory card. After recovery, the full Canon CR2 RAW file was corrupted. The next image in the photostream shows just my mum, without the background, but the JPEG is taken from what was left of the full RAW file. It's an interesting crop anyway, but I was cross.

Sadly, this shot was framed with a nice background, but I managed to wipe the file from my memory card. After recovery, the full Canon CR2 RAW file was corrupted. This is the portion I was able to recover. The previous image in the photostream is the camera's lower-quality, automatically-generated JPEG preview of the whole frame.

This is the kind of aeroplane my Grandpa, Joe Smith learned to fly in. We were asked not to get too close to the cockpit because it's a bit radioactive - thanks to the glow-in-the-dark dials! At East Fortune airfield (Scottish National Museum of Flight).
