aerodrome

After the fire broke out, orange flames burned a hole through the sheeting that covers the venue, which is in a former aerodrome.

On Monday thousands of delegates poured into the COP venue in a heavily air-conditioned former aerodrome, some coming from accommodation in shipping containers and cruise ships moored on the riverside.

The number of commercial aerodromes has also seen a substantial rise - from around 60-70 a decade ago to nearly 130-140 today.

According to the aerodrome's website, the site was originally built to be an American naval base during World War Two.

In a later post, he said eight people had been injured by explosives detonating on one of the fallen drones during an investigation of the site "not far from the aerodrome".
