You can't find it? Are you sure you've been to the right cemetary?
I can't really describe it in any way other than it's the cemetary's perimeter wall closest to the airport. If you've been up there before, you should be able to get a pretty good idea of where the spot is from these shots.
Hope that helps

Only if you want to pay an absolute fortune.
By the way, if you have a number of things to ask, they'll probably be easier to answer if you post them all in just one reply, instead of one per question :)

-How did LBA take the 747?
The runway is not small.
In the scale of things not much different from Newcastle, Liverpool, Teeside.
Longer than Luton.
The size of an aircraft is not always the main point.
The required take off length for the 737-300 fully loaded, is similar to a 747-100 fully loaded. Engine performance makes the difference.
Thomson and Intersun, operated 737`s to Spain when the runway was 5,400ft long.
Now it is 7,400ft or 1.4 miles.
It just limits the chances for long haul although some aircraft can do it.
Its no use having a big runway in the middle nowhere because the catchment area is not there.
Compare Bristol with DSA. 6,600 ft runway and very successful with no plans to extend and,flights to the USA.
DSA has more than 9,000ft but it is difficult to attract airlines.
All runways are 46 metres wide generally except military ones.
However, it is not so good to have an extra wide runway in poor visibility.
Hope this clears up some points although I have simplified the subject.
10/28 as it used to be was used frequently.
And, I can also remember 18/09 I think it was, also being used.

I reckon they're all people from the graveyard woken up by the planes, lol.
Cemetry looks like a nice photographing place, will have to get up there this week or next.
Oh, and where abouts does the ice cream van show up? Haven't had an encounter with one for nearly a year! :eek:

I bet it does get a bit boring after a while just seeing the same planes keep coming in and out.
