Important Notice

As a result of some queries raised, and interpretations made in some submissions, it has become clear that a little clarification was needed for a couple of the treasures to be hunted, and for one of the rules.

The clarification/changes are shown in bold in the following excerpts from the first post in this thread.


Items

  1. A repurposed quarry
    Must be repurposed - being operated in an organised manner.
    – Bonus point if Wikipedia link included to the new purpose

  2. An RAF airfield
    Must have been last used for any flying activities on/before 31/12/1949
    – Bonus point if the original Hanger buildings are still in use
    – Bonus point if the original Control Tower building still exists

Rules - Capturing Images/Video

  • Media must be shot using your drone while it is flying. The height at which it is flying must be adequate to give no doubt that it was flying.

Thanks to all those that have participated so far - and it is hoped that many more of you will be making your entry submissions very soon.

Perhaps failed entries should count as part of the two a day?

That would create some focus!

Yes, they do. The nearest one to me doesn’t even though it is the largest treatment facility below the M4. Europe’s biggest facility is Beckton in East London with 84 such tanks. It is also in the London City Airport zone - Good Luck ! :slight_smile:
