Short warning I know, but I'll be spending a few hours at the local tomorrow to catch the Air Atlantique DC3 operating pleasure flights...

You going on one? I'm taking a flight at either Exeter or Newquay (believe it or not, it's actually cheaper and easier to get to Exeter than it is to St.Mawgan using public transport. ::))

Unfortunately not.....100 quid for 30 minutes is a little steep.....I'll happily take some snaps from my usual spot

I can't make it today unfortunately, so i'm gonna go up tommorow, weather notwithstanding. However, i have just seen it fly overhead portishead whilst on my paper round, really nice and low, nice engine growl as it went overhead, literally directly banking over the road i was on, can't have been more than 1500ft. Brilliant sight.

Well....I'm back having become slightly sunburned and spending 2 hours on a usually 40 minute journey (Bon Jovi Concert at Ashton Gate this evening >:(

)
Was an excellent sight and sound to see at Bristol amongst the usual orange A319s. Just a shame that its take off roll was so short and therefore it was quite high by the time it got down my end of the runway

Saw it over Bristol on the way back....looked much lower then anything (bar the police chopper) that I've ever seen......wish I could have been on her now
