Paid a quick visit to the closest airfield to my house today as the sun was out ;)

Heard something about a VC10 on the scanner in the morning, and apparently one had been in the paint shop in the past few days....so was hoping for some action ;)

Unfortunately it was pretty quiet, with a piper doing a couple of circuits before coming in, and the police and ambulance helicopters coming in and out.

In the end I decided to look for a spot I'd seen pictures from on the internet which looks over the Brabazon hangar (now the air livery paintshop) as well as the MK maintenece facility. Unfortunately the brambles were a little too high to get decent shots, but there were three 742s outside, two in MK livery and one in plain white.

There was one airborne out of Brize in the Cheltenham area at about 1150. ;) You should have been at Brize - beautiful weather (wind excepted), and it was doing circuits. :)
