hi,
a jolly on a jolly, a week in caravan at Llanddulas so a chance to visit as apposed to sitting in a deckchair, the Caernarfon air museum its small but 7 gap fillers-
N5137- DH.82 TIGER MOTH. fuselage.
WM961/J- SEAHAWK FB.5.
WT694- HUNTER F.1.
WV781- SYCAMORE HC.12. cab.
XA282- CADET TX.3.
XH837- JAVELIN FAW.7.
WJ726- WHIRLWIND HAR.10.
XK623/56- VAMPIRE T.11.
XW269/TB- HARRIER T.2.
VARSITY C/P TRAINER.
BAPC286- POU-DE-CIEL.
Then out to the field, where these were to be seen-
G-HAMD.
G-CDTU.
G-CENG.
G-BSOG.
G-BZFS.
G-WROL.
G-BTNV.
G-FEGN.
G-AZFC.
G-ERFS.
G-MICK.
G-GHRW.
G-CFMX.
G-MCGK.
XX436/CU36.
XD165 WHIRLWIND ling on its side on the dump.
59-1513 low pass, after 2 t&go's at Valley.
a helicopter flyover with PDG on the side (which i concentrated on, instead of the reg?)
and in Bristows hangar seen through a narrow gap a helicopter frount cab ? with dark blue top, lower part light blue, and it looked like dark blue bottom,with a thin yellow flash below side window. With a white circle, with a centre line and 2 lines on either side of the centre line going off at 45degs, (i've seen this motif before but for the life of me can't remember where...)and he letters NE..trailng back along the yellow flash. So thats your starter for 10, anyone who wishes to try for it.
Now for the star item, on Bristows apron a Schiebel Camcopter S-100 G-UASB, in CG colours, looked like a shark standing up on it 2 flippers... i beiieve there are 2.
Then off to RAF Valley, XX156 Guard, and these on the various aprons...
Hawks.
ZK015.
ZK026.
ZK031.
ZK034.
plus a couple flying round, and 3 lost to the heat haze, although one had a Unon jack covering the fin XX281.
Texans.
ZM323.
ZM324.
ZM329.
ZM331.
ZM332.
On my phone ADS-B there were 2 Jupiters, 4 Hawks, playing in Snowdonia,
but all good things come to a end, but a very good day at both fields...
stay safe, regards,
