The Levels seemed to be all black metal work? Could it be part of the new Genosys? 

That seems more likely to me and something where the build stuff is on the farm ….

That stuff has been there since last year, probably noticed it about october

It’s really lovely, not just the great food but the decor and atmosphere is tremendous. Hoping to head down after Easter for a camping break and a meal in the crown is a must. It’s the question they always ask after finishing the main course ‘do you want to see the dessert menu?’ Always a temptation!😊

They didn’t even ask that I noticed . Must have missed us as we were deep in conversation about site changes 🙂 and forum topics

There were also 2 big planes up by the barn don’t know if @Supernintendo Chalmers or @parsonjack got a photo they can upload ? As my phone isn’t uploading stuff

This fella … thinking about his next cheese and grain thread 

[Crazyfool01]

Any ideas on the plane ? There are 2 of them ? Not seen them onsite before

No sign of any carhenge foundations … wandered into that field but really couldn’t make anything out … the cars were also not around this time at the workshop where they were the last time I visited this time of year but then they were being worked on and won’t need anything done this time 

The foundations will still be there. Highly unlikely they’ll have gone to the effort of removing them.

yeah thats what we thought .... couldn't find the damn things though .I think itll be back anyway as I doubt they'll have bothered with that effort for a 1 off 

[Justcalledtosay]

Yeah it’s a LOT of work for no real reason. Possible the grass has grown and hidden them somewhat?

[Paul ™]

They will fill them in and cover them up for safety.

Not been in the crown since around 1997, overdue a sesh there

You needed Professor Alice Roberts with you , She’d use her ground penetrating radar to find the foundations. She’s a friend of the festival. 😊

That looks a LOT like one of the Ethiad model planes that used to live on the roundabout just outside Heathrow Terminal 4:

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

The Pyramid Stage, in association with Etihad Airways. Has a nice ring to it.

Does this mean the Pyramid Stage will also be facing 115 FFP charges?

Yeah that's definitely the planes we saw yesterday. One of them had it's wings removed but the curved tips were unmistakable.  I wonder if we're going to get some flying/climate change installation....?

Next they'll be building a runway next to the Pyramid stage!

The metal on the inside is for running cables and the fact it's got see through glass suggests it isn't something back of house. Definitely looks like it's been/planned to be on or near a stage because of the signs about noise. 

You're right though it's definitely not the levels, or at least not something you can see from the front of the levels. 

But it looks like it's already been used on site rather than something new which is interesting 

[EavisAintDead]

I was also on site this weekend - only other thing I saw other than the above was a whole bunch of new bins ready for painting

I'll be doing more walking around there in the coming months but with slightly less access, I'll see what I can spot

Or it’s just got a bit muddy from sitting in the fields for several months over a pretty grotty winter

A hospitality landing strip maybe?😊
