At approx 0620 hours one morning in August 2001.

Wombleton Airfield. At a range of 250 yards - I paced the distance to be sure. Large cat-like creature on the perimeter road adjacent to the reservoirs. Approx labrador sized, long counterbalancing tail, turned up at the end. Colour appeared tawny. Loped off with a smooth gait when it saw me.

On investigation, no tracks discernible. Even though I walked my dog there frequently at that hour, I never saw the animal again.
