HOLLY MEADOW: Private airstrip

The third detail picture appears to show an aircraft - possibly a Tiger Moth? But it seems to missing its tailplane?
Location: Roughly 3nm ESE of Ashbourne town centre

NOTES: If you have any sense the first thing you learn when being taught to fly is to quickly develop a deep distrust of all ‘official’ information. Obviously you need to bear it in mind but it is often flawed. It is then up to you to spot the mistakes! Many thanks to Peter Vercruijsse (see 'Comment' below) for pointing out this error. I was given the BROOK FARM identity by a local flying instructor who I was flying with to photograph the area.
