A Great Yarmouth airfield which was once considered permanently grounded is preparing to take off once again.
Progress is being made daily at North Denes Airfield on Caister Road, as new operators Yarmouth Heliport attempt to rejuvenate the facility as a working airfield once again.
The airstrip served oil and gas platforms off the East Anglian coast for more than half a century but closed in 2015 after helicopter operator CHC started flying from Norwich Airport.
Images taken by aerial photographer Mike Page show strips H09 and H27 visible from the air.
Yarmouth Heliport said it aims to encourage the introduction of general aviation flight, including microlights and pleasure craft.
The new firm said they have spent the last year working on arresting the building from nature to ensure they are operationally functional.
A spokesperson for Yarmouth Heliport said: "Now is the time for local enterprise to engage to ensure the airfield is stitched into the fabric of Great Yarmouth for the future.
"We are keen to speak with local people and be one of the leveraged conduits to commercial growth for the area and help deliver a year-round economy.
"The health of the site enhances the health of the town, and arguably, there has not been a better time to be involved with North Denes Airfield than now."
The spokesperson added that Yarmouth Heliport aims to create jobs for students emerging from colleges to further their pursuit of a lasting career.
Yarmouth Heliport is also offering self-storage units at the facility.
The airfield closed in 2015 with the loss of 30 jobs after CHC lost a contract with Perenco following the oil company's move to Norwich.
Helicopters ferrying offshore workers had been a regular sight since 1965, with more than 5,000 passengers a month using the airfield in its early-1970s heyday.
The airfield was previously put up for sale in 2017, with some believing the space would never be used for flying again.
