Mini Cheshire and LPL Road Trip 02/07/2022

[Deleted]

Having failed in June to get around Worleston and Ashcroft Farm due to weather with both being closed or owner on holiday, I managed this week following a few e-mails and telephone calls to gain access to both.

Worleston (Dairy House Farm)

Not a lot here but made three:-

G-CJBE- Ikarus
G-LIFB- Vixxen
G-TNJB- Pegasus Quik

Also here but not needed were:- G-LOUS- G-CDTU- G-CDNW and G-IAJS.

My next airfield and the first visit since 2014 was:-

Ashcroft Farm

Made the following six here:-

G-BGVY- AA5
G-CKVP- Calidus
G-CMBO- Vixxen
G-CSDR- Crusader
G-PPOD- Europa
G-TBLB- Pegasus Quik

Also here but not needed were:-G-CGTD, G-CCTP, G-BITO, G-CEWL, G-CLEI, G-AWOU, G-AWWN, G-BPYJ, G-OGAN and G-CEHT

The AA5 was at the airfield in June when I had my failed visit and was confirmed by the visiting aircraft log in the Tower- if you ever go to this strip- don't go on speck make contact with the airfield owner Steve.

Ash House Farm

Just up the track from Ashcroft is another strip, and as a result of what Steve had told me I drove up as I had seen a car out side the one hangar which when I got up to the hangar I was allowed to view the three occupants which I have been asked not to publish, but they were all very nice aircraft and I needed one.

Then I returned home picked up my beloved and went to visit the in-laws- after which paid a very quick visit to:-

LPL (General Aviation)

YU-GIN- C525
N3492F- C182

Then it was home for a nice curry and a few beers coupled with a bit of TV.

Sunday it is cloudy with the odd bit of aqua however one in the book inbound LPL.

Happy Days

Are you sure about the Cessna 182 N3498F. This is currently flying in California where it is based. N3492F is based at Liverpool and arrived back from Chester at 16:37 (c/n 18257492 ex G-AVCV). Also no mention of 98F on NWAN which I would expect as its was so far from home.

Hope this helps

Graham,

Thanks for pointing that out it is N3492F slip of the pen- and a senior moment by myself I will amend same on my log. Nice pic's at Manchester by the way.

Also at Worleston was a wrecked red P & M GT450 which the guy showing me around did not know the ID of- so I e-mailed the CFI and bingo he came back with the registration G-TPWL.

......which PlaneBase confirms Bob, her permit to fly suspended in August last year.

Thanks Graham, the aircraft is owned by the CFI and he has another and uses the frame for spares albeit fairly intact when I saw it on Saturday.

Happy Days
