A look at old maps of the area at https://maps.nls.uk/ indicate this is an old chalk pit. |

Can anyone clarify what the white ground markings mean ? The three cross bars have been added since earlier images. I don't think it is the takeoff or landing direction as this was normally into the wind on a grass runway - there should be a windsock somewhere but I can't spot it. |
