Derbyshire visit 1/5

[keithh]

I decided to go to Chesterfield FC,s last home game in the Football League and I thought it would be a good idea to visit a few fields en route. My first stop was Egginton, home of the Derby Aeroclub, I had only been here once before many years ago. I asked at reception for access and was told that I could be escorted around the field but was not allowed to even look in the hangars. The field was scattered with mostly spamcans, many without engines, and I was forbidden from photographing any incomplete aircraft.I was shown the Comet under restoration. Log as follows, types against those needed.

My next stop was Darley Moor, my first time here. There was nobody in the cafe so I asked in the hangar and was allowed to log but not photograph.

Unfortunately not too much to excite the camera lens but I couldn't take shots of the best stuff alas.
