Watching the Planes

So Dunkeswell's claim to fame is that it was the only U.S. Navy land air base in Britain during the Second World War. One of the more enjoyable things I found in the town was to sit on the bluffs and watch the planes come in; the base is still operating albeit commercially. They just soar right over head and more seem to perform failed landings than actually land. And by failed landings I mean they touchdown but can't slow enough to stop, so they take off again and circle round for another try. But still, it's pretty neat.
