First port of call, lots of flying going on and activity outside the three large hangars at the entrance end of the field. Plenty lined up along the fence line, all residents, but very noticeable how few are now parked in the open on the lower field due to the number of plastic hangars either completed or being built, no more than 8-10 parked down there in view.

Potted four, pretty good for one of my local fields

Both gyros parked directly in front of the radio room, as was G-SUEY, a maroon coloured Bell 206 Long Ranger, which wasn't needed. So, if anyone whizzed past on the A303, that's what the chopper was.

Love the Freelance!
Not seen that for years and years, although I seem to recall someone posting a picture of it at Oaksey Pk last year?

Morning ZZ

I had a look at my logs and it looks like her sister ship G-NACA is Oaksey-based as I logged her there last year.

Ah right, thanks. Don't think I've seen either of them since the 80s!
