An unusual view from the window of the 'Class 46 Tribute' railtour, as we pass by Shoreham Airport :)
<b>A very unusual shot taken from the open window of the 'Class 46 Tribute' railtour :)</b>

The Goodyear airship, N2A (GZ-20) 'Europa', which visited numerous airshows in the 1970s and 1980s - seen here hovering over Shoreham Airport - now known as Brighton City Airport, but in my shot retaining the old name of Brighton, Hove and Worthing Municipal Airport!
 
Apparently Shoreham Airport, founded in 1910, is the oldest airport in the UK and the oldest purpose-built commercial airport in the world! The 1930s Art Deco terminal building seen in my shot, which was designed by the improbably named R. Stavers Hessell Tiltman is Grade 2 listed building.
