Aerial picture of RAF Fiskerton supplied by John Musgrove

               It is believed this picture was taken in 1945. The main runway and the flames coming
               from the F.I.D.O. pipes can be seen. (Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation).

                The burning of large amounts of aviation fuel by installing small diameter pipes along
                the main runway and igniting this fuel as it dripped from these pipes, thus burning off
                          the low lying fog shrouding the runway and allowed pilots to land.
