Old Warden – 24/10/13

A quick visit this morning found the newly arrived Mew Gull now in the back of the hangar but…..

… an unusual sound outside found the ‘new’ Mew Gull G-HEKL doing a circuit of the airfield presumably up from nearby Henlow. It returned a short time later at several thousand feet so unfortunately with only a small camera to hand the images are purely a record.

Otherwise back inside the hangars there might be some suggestion the recent reports on TV news of deadly spiders have reached Old Warden ??

Mew Gull and Comet for classic racer formation next year……fingers crossed.

Slicer please add the new build Mew along with the Biggin Vega Gull, now that would be something very special!!

I did wonder what the slightly odd shaped red aircraft that passed over my house about 6pm tonight was. It didnt look like the normal Chippie from Henlow.

I just think the ‘gentleman’ ascending the ladder of the Lysander has just been rather careless with his candyfloss!

Nice shots,pleased to see the sense of humour is still there. I called in to OW for lunch and the centre of attraction was an Army Apache. Looked a bit out of place on OW’s green sward.
