Hi JK695 - welcome to the forum. I try and take aerials too but I don't fly that often. It would be great to see a few more on the forum. Wattons Hangars were demolished last year, last one came down at the beginning of May 2008 if I remember rightly.
Anyway, enjoy AiX and I look forward to seeing your posts
Sorry about the slow reply - been really really busy!!! I'm still uploading pics onto photobucket. The first set will be of Binbrook - I'll let you know when they are on!!
I have been looking at your website on a few occasions and have decided to join you.
I have always had an interest in the Second World War and for the last 6 months I have been travelling around visiting various sites connected to the Second World War in Northern Ireland.
In doing so i think I have all of the Northern Ireland wartime airfields represented and indeed I have looked 'over the fence' in some cases to nearby Heavy Anti-Aircraft Batteries or indeed the occasional Royal Air Force jetty for rescue boats.
I hope that we will be able to assist each other with information relating to airfields and I look forward to being involved.
Welcome to the forum. Be careful it is very addictive! I caught a bad case of Bombing ranges since I joined
Speaking of which, I don't suppose you know anything about Bombing and Gunnery ranges in Northern Ireland? As they are not normally marked on maps either old or new they are difficult to pinpoint and the wartime Grid references are no help as they don't convert to Irish grid properly.
No Amount Of Evidence Will Ever Persuade An Idiot (probably not Mark Twain)
I know of a few Bomb Ranges which can be found at maps.ehsni.gov.uk/MapViewer/Default.aspx
There are Bombing Range Targets mentioned at Portstewart, On the northern shore of Lough Neagh and the western shore of the Ards Peninsula near Greyabbey.
I will see what I can find. - Make sure to take a look at my website as i have photographs of the butts at Ballyhalbert, Maghaberry and Greencastle / Cranfield included.
