Spring seems to have finally sprung so over to the local airport we go. Surprisingly busy in the fresh gusty wind. Still a tad chilly too. Here's a few of my better shots.







I think this chap might be related to Ozzy.



Quite by chance I bumped into one of the old forum regulars. Nice meeting you at last Pete.

Very good shots

good shots Doug.

Indeed Doug, it's been long enough

Indeed it has.

I must have missed that Christen Eagle and what plane is that in the third pic. I couldn't quite work it out.

According to the CAA register that be a Pierre Robin R3000/120.

Now the sun is coming out more I might be down there on my bike a bit more often.

Might see you again soon then.

Wonderful shots as always Doug

Thanks for posting them.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Very nice...perfect light, perfect clouds.
What is that little aerobat pictured there? I can't quite place it.

Shame about the photographer.

G-OEGL is a Christen Eagle II.

G-IIEX is an Extra 300L.

PS. Not always the case but there's a clue in the registrations.

Shame about the photographer.

Now now, don't be hard on yourself Doug;.. you know there are guys out there with a more blurry reputation...


Lovely variety there! I especially like the Christen Eagle and the Chipie shot!

The Eagle I recognized (should've said "second aerobat"...);
Extra was my first guess for the second, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

A lurvely chubbly Chippie there Doug
And just 'cos other pilots fly inverted doesn't mean they're family.... just equally sane peeps

Looking at the Rutan Vari-Long-Eze-thingy, I wonder if it's owned by Tim Barnby, the chap who landed the Virgin A340 partially wheels up at Heathrow in 1997. He may be a 747 captain now?...

...checked, and no it isn't - registered to a Tim Bailey. I bet he's a 747 Captain!

Great shots!!

 That's got to be a great view from the cockpit on the third shot.
