A surprise at Biggin Hill

Hello

I went over to Biggin Hill for a few hours yesterday, hoping to see a few biz jets, and I wasn’t disappointed. G-SONE arrived just after I did:-

OE-GJP arrived and departed to Memmingham during my stay:-

There were several turboprops around as well, including N710M:-

Among the many light aircraft that were taking advantage of the nice weather was F-GKVZ:-

And the surprise? The last thing I was expecting to see was a flying Ghanaian Wessex – 9G-AEL carried out a single circuit:-

Thanks for your comments – indeed, Garry, it is amazing to see one flying in the UK.

Several have been stored at Biggin for some time, so I assume it is one of those.
