I recently had a two day permission from Gatwick Airport to fly within their restricted airspace. Here are 141 aerial photos of varying focal length taken at Southgate Playing Fields on 24 May 2026. The first half were taken in the morning in the south east of the park and the rest are from the south west in the late afternoon. I have included both sets in full as there are different angles and different light. I have also annotated some of the photographs to highlight features.
