Southend 30-5-04

Hi all. Yesterday saw the first day of the Southend airshow (finishes today). I took a trip there and was suprised at what was in the actual airport itself, besides the display aircraft etc.

A few pics from yesterday:

1. Still stored! One of two Ex – Air China BAe 146’s. However this one is rumoured to have a new owner.

2. Another pic of B-632L from a different angle.

3. The Beautiful Catalina (C-FNJF)

4. Undergoing maintenance at ATC Lasham – Ex DBA. (D-ADID)

5. G-EZYJ, Undergoing maintenance and a re-paint at ATC Lasham. (sorry for quality on this pic)
