Sorry the link is no longer avaiable please see images below. Using the same platform as previous module SquareSpace, I have created one single gallery presenting 3 airfield sites which total to 18 images. These sites include RAF Toome, RAF Ballyhalbert and RAF Newtownards. This work in progress sees all images cropped to a square … More Work In Progress

To finish off my WIP I returned to RAF Toome area, the weather was a bit cloudy than I wanted but the module is drawing to the end and I wasn’t sure if the weather would improve. I am away for the last 2 weeks of the module which isn’t ideal, but I am working … More Project Development-8

I returned to Ballyhalbert starting off at the control tower area. To get to this area I have to walk through original parts of the airfield which is home to a caravan site. I took a few photos around this area as I hadn’t explored this before. Looking at my edited photos I think this … More Project Development-7

I went back to Newtownards, I parked my car which is pretty much where the site is. My methodology for this site was to start shooting straight away. My thinking being that the landscape leading up to the airfield would have had great significance to the placement of it. The lighting was just right tonight, … More Project Development-6

I think at this point having covered 3 areas it is time to reflect on my images that I have shot so far and work out if any are at the standard for my WIP. I have shown these images to my tutor in a 1-1 webinar. Feedback was given that I have catalogued these … More Project Development-5

Third area took me to RAF Newtownards, half of the area can easily be accessed by the public as it is a nature walk around the costal line. Previous recce to the area I could see some of the buildings were on the original airfield within Ulster Flying Club. I phoned the flying club to … More Project Development-4

For my second shoot I headed to RAF Toome, I managed to get talking to local famer which he allowed me to wonder through his field. The farmer also pointed out couple of buildings which I didn’t realise that were used during the War so that was helpful. I tried going a similar time as … More Project Development-3

My first shoot for this module took me to the former site of RAF Ballyhalbert. I used the same resources as my last module to locate my areas of interest http://www.ww2ni.com/countydownairfields.htm & http://www.livinglegacies1914-18.ac.uk/HostedSites/RAF100CommemorateEducateInspire/RAFAirfields/Ballyhalbert/. Then lastly good old-fashioned walking/snooping around, the landscape has changed greatly so was difficult to get access to some of the areas. … More Project Development-2

First World War Workshop I attended a WW1 workshop at Queens University Belfast hosted by Council for British Archaeology, Living Legacies and Home front Legacy. Although only 2 sites from WW1 are in NI (25 are in Ireland), I still found the presentations very interesting because I could still relate methodologies to capturing WW2 sites. … More Project Development-1
