Exactly.

There's a fairly recognisable lake 2km or so south and roughly in line
with the runway and the buildings of Skelling farm stand out well, just
west of the southern end. Coming from the closest point on the hill, the
line of trees on the east side of the runway is easier to see in real
life than in the video, and in any case trailers near one end of the
trees and gliders at the launch point generally stand out well.
