My first mistake was to believe the weather forecast, 11C and sunshine, Oh yes ? So I set off on this small adventure, stopped off at a motel in Lincoln for the night, awoke this morning, threw open the curtains to see …. nothing !
But believing that it can only get better proceeded to my first point of call ‘Humberside International’ where I intended to spend the day ! Not too much happening, drove around the place, not much too see at all ? So below a diorama of my day !!
Mods …. I hope it is ok to post such an eclectic mix of airframes within one post as it is a tale of three cities ??
Keith 😉
So Humberside and G-JXLI (G-INFO shows a varied history for that reg?)
A surprise on a Sunday PH-EZE.
Another surprise was SP-ENB landing into the gloom.
And when it came out, in some sun, to fly, so did most of the local birds !! umph !!
That was all I saw of the sun at Humberside ! So I thought head inland, may get better ? Off I went to Robin Hood country, last time I was here it was called RAF Finningley(sp) and there was a supurb flypast (1977ish) for the Queen. What an unfriendly place this seems to be ? all of the roads have double yellow lines and every lamp post has signs saying ‘no parking. no stopping. no photography’ Well my camera doesn’t have a red line across the front … so I am ok ??
A few ‘through the fence shots’
N550LD maybe wrong ?.
N80364.
F-GUF….. who knows ?
N53GX.
G-JETA.
That was all from Doncaster, without risking the authorities hand on my shoulder, so off I went toward home, but could not pass Gamston without a quick look ! Not much doing …. but Rosie was sitting there, at a distance, waiting to be photographed ??
This is ‘Rosie’ ! what is Rosie ??

JXLI is a mock up. I think it may contain some original parts though.

In the picture of the KLM Embraer, is that the nose cone of Thunderbird 3 behind the hangar?:diablo:[/QUOTE]
Yes it is:)

Great pictures. Enter Air seem to have been doing lots of the Santa flights this year. One of their aircraft has been operating (and parked) up at LBA.

Great shots 🙂
The BD-700 is a beautiful aircraft

Nice pictures !
I fail to see what anyone could do to stop you taking photographs, as long as you were on public land.
Maybe a hangover from the RAF days ?
I would guess the parking restrictions were brought in due to interest when the Vulcan is active ?
People do tend park in silly places at times.

EGTC. Thank you my friend ! As you know the weather is just a challenge to be overcome …. we overcome it !!
Keith :rolleyes:

Good result considering the weather 🙂
By: keithnewsome - 6th January 2013 at 22:11
tenthije. Why thank you sir ! That was my first impression, I thought the colour scheme was ‘Mustang ish’
Keith 🙂

Looks very much like the weather we have had for the past two months or so. Nice result considering the conditions.
Rosie is a Bonsall DB.1, and is supposed to be a P-51 Mustang replica. I suppose if you squint your eyes real hard you can make out some Mustang features. Anyway, its registration is G-BDWM.
