Right place, right time for me this afternoon as glorious Constant Phoenix 64-14836 made a curving approach to Mildenhall rwy28 before landing, having arrived from Souda as WNDSR01.

Looks like the lid of an Airfix box (meant to be a compliment!) Just how far from the field was the right place?

Thanks for the kind comments. 🙂 Sdad, it's 2.5 miles as the crow flies from the end of rwy28. 👍
