An active airfield or a disused one?

Thanks Local Hiker. New I had seen it .
Thought someone might have done it up like Rides Mill.
Knowing where you live helped.


Lets see how long this one lasts . Photo taken about 5 years ago

In that case I will take this one.

I didnt take the last one asThe Headcorn Baptist Churchyard is the resting place of my Maternal Grandparents ,Several aunts and Uncles and my dear cousin Audrey. Audrey's ashes were sent over to me from Canada to be scattered on her mothers grave there. We had a lovely little ceremony conducted by David one of the Deacons and his lovely wife Doris who provided refreshments.

It is the base of a windmill.

Thanks John Walker. I have never been to the big cat sanctuary. I had tickets once, but gave them to my daughter and her friend. I believe access is limited.


Anyway, thanks for the other clues that helped me drill down to Headcorn Baptist Church.


Here is the next one, my own photo from last year

The lion and tiger clues are too cryptic or subtle for me unless they are referencing airplanes like Tiger Moths.


Well done Local Hiker - you've got it so over to you.


The clues related to The Big Cat Sanctuary and Headcorn Aerodrome, both around a kilometer away from the chapel.

Railway station nearby.  On a long straight section of track.
Just heard a plane taking off.
