Summary[edit]

Description
English: Display Plinth at Llanbedr Airfield When approaching this, I firstly thought that it was a Trig Point. That is obviously not the case as closer inspection shows it has a tube projecting upwards, I then thought that it may be a flagpole base. Afternote: With thanks to Richard Greenwood who informed me that the object was a plinth for displaying one of the Australian developed Jindivik drone target aircraft which were launched from Llanbedr when it was operational. A Jindivik is shown in http://www.cnapg.org/a92_511.htm and the Wiki page is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jindivik#Images. Rather interestingly, BBC Wales featured the airfield a few days after I took the picture, in a story about its redevelopment. The plinth and Jindivik were shown in the archive footage that they used. BBC Story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/7785677.stm
