Headlight refurb'

[hard top]

can't breathe under water, after all.

Did you know that...
...Schiphol lies at the bottom of the former Haarlemmer lake?
The Haarlemmer lake was drained in 1852 and the first aircraft landed at Schiphol in 1916. Technically, the airport lies on the bottom of the lake, over four metres below sea level. Despite all of the various expansions, we have never moved from our original location. This makes Schiphol not only one of the world's most low-lying airports but also the oldest to occupy the same location.

Sorry Mike.... @hard top You got that wrong..

Brighton City Airport (IATA: ESH, ICAO: EGKA), also known as Shoreham Airport, is an airportlocated in the parish of Lancing in West Sussex, England. It has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction.

Founded in 1910, it is the oldest airport in the UK and the oldest purpose-built commercial airport in the world.[3] It is now owned by Brighton City Airport Ltd (BCAL).[4] The 1930s Art Deco terminal building designed by R Stavers Hessell Tiltman is listed grade II*.[5]

The airport is 1 NM (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) west of Shoreham-by-Sea[1] at Lancing in the Adur district of West Sussex. It is situated immediately to the south of the A27 road, between Brighton and Worthing, and immediately to the north of the West Coastway railway line.

Must have taken some sizeable pumps, hard enough draining land when it's above sea-level. Getting even further off-topic. Hope none of them moderator types read any of this.

It all started when someone mentioned "trouser legs".
I was expecting @t-tony to come in with something about Ferretes ...............

What's this? I thought this thread was about refurbishing an airport at the bottom of a lake?

 

[N4LLY]

[t-tony]

Perfect conditions mate, no need to mask it and the rain will continuously rinse it off

Each to their own, I suppose. Got a nice cup of tea here helping me bake a four-chocolate cake.
Damn, strayed off-topic again.
