Afternoon all.
Last week I spent a weeks non-spotting holiday in Worcestershire. This was purely a break for the Mrs. parents as their health isn't too good. So although Caravan isn't my cup of tea we set off for St. Michaels Caravan park. But of course these things mean we have to pass airfields ;-) so here we go with some logs....
First stop was a fry up at Kings Lynn where we split into our two groups. Me, the Mrs and the little one headed off while her parents and the caravan made their way to St. Michaels. We blasted off ahead in the hope of being able to do a quick visit to Birmingham and make it to camp in time to set up things.
The Camera, armed with 500mm lens was kept handy and because of this a few aircraft were able to be logged.

Handy start with one being bagged. Pushing on we made it to Birmingham to be greeted with a lane closure but eventually we made it up the car park on the elmdon apron where we logged the following in about 20 minutes..

6 bagged and so we set off for camp but of course more overflights were visible. A 3rd Glider escaped ID sadly as too far away.

The PA28 was a bonus as I have it as based in Ireland! And so that ended the first day.
Woke up the next morning and the weather had turned, wet! And this was going to be the theme for the remainder of the week. But between showers a couple graced the area.

From here I decided we should give Halfpenny Green a chance, I had been here once so expected to make a few, but on first arrival all hangars were shut! Asked nicely up the tower and explained I would be looking in gaps and they told me to fill my boots!

Sadly Tipsy Nipper G-ENIE that I need has moved to Bewdley so escapes for longer. Usual friendly welcome and cleared to wander. All hangars happy to allow me access to log and photo.

The next day and rain was back on the cards, so much so that not a single aircraft was seen!
Final day at campsite and the weather was making a small improvement a few noted overhead between doing final shopping and exploring

And so August started and it was time to head home to Norfolk. After packing up I wanted to try Coventry as I needed a G-A in the museum so said our goodbyes to the In-laws and they headed direct to Norfolk while we headed for McDonalds and Coventry.
First up was a peri circuit, absolute gem here for me was G-ABJJ DH60. What a cop for me!

And so ended a weeks break from work and home life. Even Northrepps had a German Robin waiting for my return.
Looks like they want to go back next year so maybe I can slope of to some other strips.

Last week I spent a weeks non-spotting holiday in Worcestershire. This was purely a break for the Mrs. parents as their health isn't too good. So although Caravan isn't my cup of tea we set off for St. Michaels Caravan park. But of course these things mean we have to pass airfields ;-) so here we go with some logs....
First stop was a fry up at Kings Lynn where we split into our two groups. Me, the Mrs and the little one headed off while her parents and the caravan made their way to St. Michaels. We blasted off ahead in the hope of being able to do a quick visit to Birmingham and make it to camp in time to set up things.
The Camera, armed with 500mm lens was kept handy and because of this a few aircraft were able to be logged.

The PA28 was a bonus as I have it as based in Ireland! And so that ended the first day.
Woke up the next morning and the weather had turned, wet! And this was going to be the theme for the remainder of the week. But between showers a couple graced the area.

Following morning we woke to a dry but cloudy day so decided to take the little one over to the Small Breeds and Owl sanctuary at Kington, on the way back we just happened to pass right beside Shobdon so grabbed the in-laws a cuppa sat them down as I wandered off in search of new numbers.

Leaving here we had to pass Shobdon so thought it would be rude not to drop in and seeing as it's been 2 years since my last visit I was hoping to make a few. Sadly Tipsy Nipper G-ENIE that I need has moved to Bewdley so escapes for longer. Usual friendly welcome and cleared to wander. All hangars happy to allow me access to log and photo.

And so August started and it was time to head home to Norfolk. After packing up I wanted to try Coventry as I needed a G-A in the museum so said our goodbyes to the In-laws and they headed direct to Norfolk while we headed for McDonalds and Coventry.
First up was a peri circuit, absolute gem here for me was G-ABJJ DH60. What a cop for me!
