Nah, it was a building. I already had a few shots of the

They were plane spotters, belonging to a British club,
at an open house Greek Airforce day.
================================================== ================
Greek Plane Spotters: In November 2001, a group of 12 British and two Dutch
plane spotters were arrested on charges of espionage after taking notes
during an open day at a Greek Air Force base. They were found guilty in
2002. The Greek courts overturned the conviction on appeal.

They had a terrible time, hauled off to jail in handcuffs, forget how long
they were imprisoned before the trial but it was stressful for
them.
