NJ1968 : Illuminations, natural and unnatural on Runway 05!

near to Old Duffus, Moray, Great Britain

Illuminations, natural and unnatural on  Runway 05!
Illuminations, natural and unnatural on Runway 05!
If the pilot sees the runway from this angle then he is in dire straits! He is much too low and unlike the computer version he will not have a second chance. The brightness of the moon will not help him either. Note the runway caravan to the port side of the runway threshold. The number designated to a runway as seen here denotes the magnetic direction in which the landing strip runs i.e. 050 degrees. Heathrow runway 28 would therefore run 280 degrees or almost east west.
