Kenley Observatory from the Air !

Here are two images of the observatory from the air from Google Earth. The first is a close up and the second is a more general view. There is also an image of the whole of Kenley Aerodrome. It is interesting to compare this with the maps and picture in the proposal document for the Kenley Conservation Area.
