I recently had a two day permission from Gatwick Airport to fly within their restricted airspace. Here are 71 aerial photos of varying focal length taken in Goffs Park on 24 May 2026. The first two are taken from down the bottom end near the model railway in the morning and the rest are from the top of the hill a little way from Goffs Park House in the afternoon. I have annotated some of the photographs to highlight features.
