The beach bordering the runway makes this on of the most dangerous airports in the world for pilots.
People on the beach feel the jetblast. Some have been injured by losing their grip as they hang of the fence while jets spool up for takeoff.

My primitive Kodak Brownie snaps scanned in. One of the first times I ever took a camera to an airshow; there are better versions other people have done on the web but these are my souvenirs to complete the chronology. I had a lot to learn about photography and should have practised more especially holding it still! But even these mono snaps ate deeply into my pocket money when I only got two bob a week.
This was a risky shot as it was departure time for the V-bomber. The stench from the four jets was suffocating, never mind the waves of heat. Then there was the trash caught up in the jetblast,,,
Note also the DC6 I think it is in the background which I wish I had gone over to snap but I only had about 20 snaps in my camera, another severe limitation for this novice.
