THE YELLOW BIKE ROAD TRIP 4TH MAY 2015

[bobbystreet56]

some of you may be wondering why I called this the yellow bike road trip,well if you cast your mind back to last year we had the tour de france leg in Yorkshire and everywhere you went people painted bikes yellow and left them on the side of the road. they thought it was such a good idea they staged the tour de Yorkshire this weekend and the bikes were out again and they were everywhere we went.

the first visit was to LINLEY HILL at BEVERLEY ,a first visit for me , having read some conflicting tales about this place it had put me off going before but on arrival we were made very welcome and given a guided tour by the owner.seems a very successful airfield with two flying schools one microlight and another ga, we were even given a cup of coffee to boot .very friendly

next stop was a place called EDDSFIELD where some people may remember one bad winter when the hangar roof collapsed under the weight of snow wrecking some of the inhabitants. not much to report here just the 4 logged but there were a couple in the hangar

onto one of the main reasons for the trip BREIGHTON where they were supposed to be having an auster fly-in? bit disappointing though a few visitors did turn up . talking to one of the guys I know there I was told the Icelandic aircraft coming to sywell will be night stopping on the Thursday at breighton before ongoing to sywell on Friday. they are doing some airfields in the uk before going over to france but should transit back through breighton on their way home. all this is weather related

next was RUFFORTH still a very good welcome at the autogyro hangar and a frosty reception at the microlight hangar where access always seems to be denied ,but there is a small area to the side where a few can be logged but be quick as word gets round fast that you are there and the hangar door soon closes. there is one hanging from the rafters not sure what it is but someone said it may be a snowbird ,anyone know what it is I would be grateful

this is the magni m22 awaiting certification in this country even though the design has been around for 10 years. it is basically a m16 but with storage space underneath good idea for touring
