Sutton Bank, Sherburn, Conington 26/05/15

[zz]

I was still up in Yorkshire on Sunday and the weather was fantastic, so I decided to pay a very quick visit to Sutton Bank.

I think this was a first visit here for me- if I have been before it was in the 80s!

I needed 19, mostly gliders, but also a EuroFox, a Falke and best of all a G-B... Super Cub!

It's a fantastic place with a great view!

I wanted to visit Rufforth but I was very short on time so went straight to Sherburn. It was a semi-successful visit- I got in the main hangar, but not the far hangar, and the small Sherburn Aero Club hangar was shut. I guess this was where the 3 G-SAC. Aero AT.3s are-unfortunately I  didn't see any of those. But I still made 6.

 I will have to visit again in less of a hurry!

On the way home the last stop of the day was Peterborough-Conington. I usually visit here about once a year and make 1 or 2, so was delighted to make 5 new this time in a 5minute stop!

Looks like you had a good trip zz- a few more airfields to visit on your next visit up north. Conington is interesting with a few needed from your log there.

Happy Days

Some good memories there ZZ, used to load out of the British Gypsum plant at Sherburn in Elmet in my trucking days. Three good fields by the looks of them, well worth a day trip.

Yes a successful few days. Birmingham and East Midlands on the Friday, Dishforth, Bagby, Over Dinsdale and Teesside on the Saturday (logs on other threads), then these three on Sunday. Made 47 which wasn't bad for a non-spotting trip!

Cheers guys- look out for you both at Popham...

Which day will you be there ZZ? I can only make Sunday but should be there for about 9.30am

Hopefully some time on both Sat and Sun. It's only about 12 miles away from me so I can quickly nip down if the weather is good!
