Six Airfields in One Day

Hi,

The other week I took advantage of some warm weather to get out and about on a trip that eventually saw me visiting six airfields.

Stop number one was at Shoreham, where I spent just over an hour watching the many movements. PA-31 G-VIPP was the largest:-

From here, it was just a short drive to Parham, where I found Pawnee glider tug G-AVPY positioned nicely for pictures:-

My next port of call was Goodwood. G-BHBT was parked by the fence:-

Aeronca G-TIMP was waiting for next flight by the hangars:-

Farnborough was my next stop. I was here for 2.5 hours, during which the airport was busy for a Sunday. Challenger OE-ING was one of the first aircraft that moved during my visit:-

The Challenger’s bigger brother, the Global Express, was represented by N88AA:-

It is only a short drive from Farnborough to Blackbushe, where I found Cessna G-BFOE:-

A larger Cessna aircraft was G-FBKC:-

My last stop of the day was at Fairoaks. G-PHAB taxied in as the sun was starting to get low in the sky:-

Based King Air G-OMSV bought a very enjoyable day to a close:-
