A weekend away at Hayling Island at the beginning of this month had me thinking of another similar weekend at the end of May 2009 with much better summer like weather than on this year's trip. Yes, I understand that it is only February, and, despite no aircraft being seen flying around this year, it was still an enjoyable weekend away. However here's what can be seen going 'over the top' at Hayling Island when the weather does play ball. We were staying at Sinah Warren, which is where the majority of Hayling Island sightings were noted.
