A fortnight in Montenegro

[keithh]

I booked a two week family holiday in Montenegro flying Ryanair from Stansted. I made a good few at Stansted before departure.

We picked up our hire car and drove to the house we rented in Dobra Voda. I saw a few overflights while I was in Montenegro but the temperature often exceeded 40 degrees so very few trailed although some Tirana approaches came overhead much lower.

Today we went to Kotor but we stopped at Tivat airport as I wanted to see the long stored UTVA 75 here. There were numerous visitors present also.

The next day we took our daughter and her boyfriend to the airport for their return flight so we stopped at the airfield to the north which used to be the main airport. There were two hangars either end of a bar restaurant and I met a couple of pilots in the bar. One of them showed me his aircraft in the hangar which was an Icon A5 amphibian, the only one in Europe he said. Nobody was present to open the other hangar unfortunately. Behind the building were two derelict frames.

The pilot at the airfield told me that a number of visitors were expected on Wednesday to tour the country for a couple of days so I persuaded the wife to spend an afternoon there.

Our last day and I decided to try the airfield one last time to see if the other hangar was open as it was a Saturday. A good decision as it was!

Our ride home was G-RUKI and we were soon back at Stansted. We had a great time in beautiful country with some unexpected aviation bonuses.

If anyone out there is a glider expert, could they help with the types for the two 4O gliders please.

[deke]

Fantastic log, and great set of photos, memorable stuff. Lovely to have such family understanding of the hobby especially whilst on holiday.

[graham]

Great log and photos Keith, 4O-4228 is a VTC Cirrus 17A. No hits for 4O-DIS as a glider, it was issued to a Cessna F172N but was cancelled

4O-DIB is an L-13 Blanik.....a possibility?

[keithh]

DIB is definitely a Blanik. DIS had the S missing but I could clearly see the outline. I found a 172 but I don’t know which came first. The three gliders not pictured were on trailers with wings either side of the fuselage so not worth photographing.
