The BEAULIEU Letters "No Drone" Hack (+ Pundit Code)

The BEAULIEU letters are believed to have been placed on the East Boldre, New Forest, heathland between 1910 and 1916. At first the land was a flying school, and then it became a First World War airfield. The letters are 15 foot high and 110 feet in width and are very evident from the air,
In this video we attempt to record not just the BEAULIEU chalk letters but also the BL pundit code (Beaulieu Airfield Letters) at RAF Beaulieu without using a drone.

Never knew this. Just checked Google maps and yep there it is plane to see. Thanks for video

Thanks Colin, it's a great place to walk. Not many people cross the road to that side of the heath so you can usually have it all to yourself.

Loved the video ,your narration just draws you in and you just have to keep watching,well done!
Can you please direct me to where the bl for the ww2 airfield is ? I’ve tried finding it with my kids on several occasions but have failed and spent hours walking the airfield.
Also if you head towards the esso roundabout from Southampton and take a left to head towards hythe a few hundred yards up in a field in the left is a pill box used to potentially protect this route as it used to be the main road to the refinery and lepe,there used to be a further pill box opposite on the right side of the road but I can’t no longer see it due to the hedges,not seen any videos of these anywhere so potentially a future video maybe :)

How often does it need to be re-chalked?

[@TrexplorerUK]

Hi, I don't think there's an arbitrary time, but the time it happened in this video is believed to have been just the second time in over 100 years since the letters were originally placed.
