Booker, Kidlington and Enstone

[Jeff]

Myself, John (Jargon) and Bill met up with birthday boy Viv (Linda)at Booker at 10am this morning, here is todays log with a few queries

Booker,
After a quick scout round we asked in ops for permission to walk around hangars, this was freely granted so long as we didn't enter any hangar without being invited in. After this we went over to the HeliAir reception and asked to have a look around. With a donation made and the visitors book filled out we made our way into the hangar where 20 assorted helis entered the book.

Outside the Airbus Helicopter hangar we viewed these 2

G-CKGE confirmed as G-CGKE

Enstone

A trip across the Oxfordshire country side found us at Enstone, we followed the track to the end and found the flying club. two very friendly chaps lets us wander aroud the flying club site but we were told that we would have to ask in the other areas. This has to be one of the friendliest fields we have ever been too, people just wanted to chat and there was so much to see as well, would def recommend anyone visiting the place. One the way out there is a turning on the left to another hangar and club house belonging to the spitfire Sqn, again a very warm welcome from everyone including the club cat!

G-CJIN...Stearman
G-DHAC Cessna. = G-OHAC

[jargon]

Only had a very quick look

G-0HAC was the Cessna at Enstone

G-BYKX not right at Booker, we didn't see a balloon

[Jeff]

Thanks John

Hi Jeff

Booker
2-PROP is a Beech 58 and is the latest addition to the Guernsey register.
G-ENCR should probably be G-BNCR which is a Booker based PA28.

Enstone
G-CJIN is a Stearman

Oxford
G-CKGE is a BK.117 or whatever they're calling it these days!

[mikeburdett]

Morning Jeff

Re: Booker

G-BYKX, Can I suggest G-BYKK Robinson 44? Operates with the Heli Air AOC so could well have been there for maintenance?
G-EKOF, I would guess is G-EFOF Robinson 22 that is based here

Cheers

Mike B

[Jeff]

Thanks all, will change the offending reggies :-)

[billsamuels]

Morning folks,

Great report Jeff.  Totally endorse your comments regarding the Enstone walk around, some very pleasant people who actually like talking about their planes and our hobby... These last few years have shown that more airfield operators are showing greater acceptance of what we do, coupled with more of us asking permission first, is paying dividends for the real enthusiasts....

Marvellous day out - I made just over 70, so excellent result for me.

Cheers.

Bill

[jargon]

Morning Jeff

At Enstone G-AXPE should be G-AXPF A Cessna F150K which is based

Regards

John

[jargon]

Frenchman at Kidlington was F-HTRV an EC135

At Kidlington we also had OO-SFA as well as OO-SFI

Regards

John

[Jeff]

Thx john, i wondered how we misread OO-SFA for SFI .... didnt realise there were 2 of them 😊

A little more on G-CKGE. It's actually an Airbus Helicopters H.145 Jupiter HT.1,  allocated ZM501.
