Is it me or was the Mexican Biz on his second landing in the shot?
Lovely photos
I remember when they had a nice spotting place in the middle and you could walk down past the terminal and down to the heli hangars… Then they started to nibble it away until…
Hope you don’t mind…
A few different shots.

Lovely shots.
It was a great day – I will have to upload mine (some are on the VAC’s Facebook page). – Mine are just snaps as I was “working”.
37 visitors logged and a real variety too.
Mr. Seeley also owns one or two other V&C types to be found at EGBT.
It’s not too bad actually.
The cafe is good and has a viewing area and the aircraft taxi out right past you.
If you walk to the overflow car park that too will yield some photographic opportunities too.
Very nice.
Always liked the Optica. Remember seeing it at Farnborough.
In the video is the aircraft taxiing out in front a SAH.1? Another British aircraft that never really got that far.
One proboscis having replaced a more famous one…
I am loving these old shots of “real” aeroplanes.
I have walked many a mile on airfields assisting ‘EXT in to park. Lovely machine and only recently (in the last couple of years) sold on by Alan who owned, operated and maintained her for 19-20 years.
Welcome 195,
I also qualified on Ventures at 616 at Henlow ZA625, 630 and 633 were on charge when I flew. I think ’33 was the one I soloed in too. Happy days.
I agree about the “day-glo” being none standard – they seemed a local thing as others had no number or letter and others had letters in black IIRC.
and a shiny one too
N17EV in the Evergreen Museum – Oct 2010
I had the information from a very reliable source.
No that was a different chap….
IIRC the guy with the fine for “buzzing” the steam train was actually working for the owner of the loco but the chap on Top Gear landed the Robinson on top of a Skoda.
That was indeed a little too low wasn’t it?
Well the chap who flew the Robinson for Top Gear has lost his licence – flying too close apparently as opposed to too low…
Let’s see 1-11 less 2 = 109
