Thankyou kindly 🙂 I do my best to try and bring something different here to the usual stuff. 🙂
The beagle terrier was taken on my K800i mobile phone.
Yeah, that was the only angle I could get of the lightning!

Aw no problem. I’ve been flying from Cranfield since 2008 and have a few friends there so learnt about different spotting areas etc from them.
By the way, the Patriot aviation carpark is right next to two parking stands, the closest of which normally has my friends plane parked on it (G-AWFZ, Beeh19A Musketeer)

Wow 700 reg’s! Thats alot. I think the last PFA rally was in around 2001? I wish they still did that as i’d have a field day with the camera then. Mind you, Cranfield is still a busy airfield.

I forgot to mention also that G-LUXE, BAe 146 of FAAM (Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements) is also based at Cranfield and kept in the IAE hangar, however, on the FAAM website they do list dates/times that they fly.

Yesterday Cranfield had a G250 doing certification testing for water ingestion. Sadly I didnt make it over there and apparently it maybe departing back to Israel today. I believe that the Falcon 7X also did water ingestion trials at Cranfield during certification a few years ago aswell.
