I can see it - it is in the GA area, anyone around the area should get a good photo of it and the CA 747.

Really tough conditions to shoot photos in - the mound was just heat haze out to the runway and anything outside of 150 metres is basically unusable

Anyone contemplating an early morning or night shot would be on the money.

Best effort was this one -
