  1. Currently tracking SATAN10, a UAV doing circuits offshore of the Lizard. What happened to the other 9 Satans, that’s my question. Also, Predannack is clearly a former military airfield but has no evidence of any hangars or other significant structures. Presumably just an emergency airfield - with four runways no less - for aircraft coming in from the Atlantic, a place to refuel. Plenty of hard standings. Going to have to research this one!

  10. Heading to the Upper Peninsula for today's postcard! 🌲✈️

    This postcard captures the quiet atmosphere of the Iron Mountain airport. I love the functional beauty of these twin arched hangars and the scattered light aircraft waiting on the grass. It’s a wonderful look at how aviation connected even the more remote parts of Michigan during the mid-20th century.
