Default Hawarden airport - 25-04-2011, 01:56

More live infiltration.

From wikipedia:

Quote:
Hawarden Airport (IATA: CEG, ICAO: EGNR), is a small airport in Hawarden in north east Wales. It is situated 3.5 NM (6.5 km; 4.0 mi) west southwest of the city of Chester, which lies across the border in England. The airport is owned and operated by BAE Systems. A long term tenancy agreement has been signed with Airbus UK, giving rights as the sole operator of the site. At the airport there is a large Airbus factory which produces aircraft wings and also a Raytheon aircraft factory.

The aircraft factory located on the airfield is known as the Broughton factory, named after the nearest village.
After a misjudging the drop over a fence my camera decided to struggle to focus. Typical.










It took me about an hour to explore a quarter of the place. If anybody fancies running around in the shadows with me then get in touch!

Bwhahaha... I passed this every day on the way to work. Sadly, my other half would marry just to divorce me if I did this.

It's surprisingly big, and smaller jets near the Raytheon place (usually a couple at the back of the unit's too) are cool.

Good stuff! For those who don't know, going airside at airports is risky business as the usual trespass laws don't apply.

I would not describe this in any way as a "mooch".

Probably Police involvement. I seem to recall that it's a criminal offence, but I stand to be corrected on that?
