Autumn Colours at The Vyne

Outstanding views across what was one of the longest runways in Western Europe. Go and see where jet fighters and bombers were guided from as they blasted their way along a 12,000 foot runway. Take yourself back to the tense years of the Cold War when B-47s, KC-97s, and C-5 Galaxy’s used the base and look across to the GAMA site bunkers where cruise missiles were housed.
