Icicle Fly-In @ Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green 14-01-2012

2012-01-21T20:30:00.001Z

The first outing of the year came in the shape of the Icicle fly-in / camp out held this year at EGBO. The day started off a little slowly but as we predicted things picked up after mid-day with the arrival of the campers aswell as the normal visiting traffic. I beleive it was the biggest attendance of this event so far!

Lifting Heli's Around Glossop 13-01-2012

2012-01-13T21:24:00.002Z

My first post of 2012 comes in the shape of another helicopter chase out towards Glossop, this time with the promise of 4 helicopters being seen!

The first target of the day was at the lifting site just outside Chunal where we found G-PDGF lifting stone up onto the moors in what seems to the un-trained eye to be a bath-tub! It is in fact designed with a quick release on one end to allow the stone to be accurately placed by crews on the ground.

From here we could see 2 more helicopters working further to the north, working from a site that we found to be best described as East of the Windy Harbour Hotel on top of the moors. D-HAFH & G-BXUF were operating from here lifting bags of heather brash for re-planting. The remote location of the lifting site means you'd need a lens of something like 12000mm to get a shot of them, this distant shot if the JetRanger is what I managed.

The final bit of the puzzle is filled by G-JBKA which is used to ferry the crews to/from the moors. They certainly make the most of the available light & these shots were taken well into the SS+30 allowed for day VFR flying!

Top 5 In 2011

2011-12-31T12:07:00.000Z

It is again that time of year where it's traditional to look back the previous 12 months & pick out the highlights, so that's exactly what I've been doing!

Overall 2011 has been a quieter year for me in terms of number of events attended, mainly due to the weather being far from ideal & when this is teamed with the ever increasing cost of fuel it isn't a good combination! Thinking back across the past 12 months I can only pick out one weekend where both days featured "summer weather", so hats off to all those out there involved with GA that haven't given up hope yet!

Anyway that's enough writing from me, on with the list! To view details of each event just click on the image below the description.

In at number 5 is WestonZoyland, this former RAF airfield is now a nice microlight strip with around 40 aircraft based. The day itself dawned very foggy & with low cloud, it did eventually clear & then visitors continued to arrive well into the evening. I beleive calls from over 200 aircraft for PPR were taken during the day!

Number 4 comes in the form of the fly-in on Knott End sands. This is again a popular fly-in with pilots as it's a rare oppourtunity to land on a beach! It certainly offered up some very intersting photograph oppourtunites, with the dramatic backdrop of the Lake District hills.

Third place goes to the "Summer Madness" fly-in at Breighton. This is one of my favuoite airfields to visit, the lighting is perfect for photographs throughout the day & you can walk the length of the runway to get whatever angle you desire for your shots.

Second place goes to Sacville Lodge for the "Grass Roots Balloon Meet". After weeks of cancellations due to unsuitable weather conditions they eventually gave the go-ahead for the event & what a day they picked! During the day it was boiling hot & fairly windy, but by the launch time the wind & temperature's had dropped out nicely perfect balloon flying weather.

Finally in taking the number one spot is Headon, their fly-in back in July saw the little microlight strip near Gamston bursting at the seems with aircraft! The friendly approach to things & a very uncomplicated approach to aviation was very nice to see, we spent most of the day chatting away to the chap who was manning the radio (inbetween dealing with the many RT calls!) a fantastic day.

Lets hope for some better weather in 2012!

Caernarfon (EGCK) 06-11-2011

2011-11-12T13:27:00.000Z

The number of visitors to Caernarfon on a nice weekend day is very impressive, out-numbering many fly-ins during the summer! The Irish 182 was a nice surprise.

A visit to the seaside for the American Legacy that was visiting to arrange hospitality for the 2012 Open golf championships proved that photography at Blackpool is tricky shooting into the sun. The airfield was reasonably busy during the visit & there was ample activity to keep yourself amused.

A visit to the aviation section of the MMOSI to get the various arrivals since my last visit several years ago. The lay-out of the collection is very poor, exhibits are placed very close together making photography near impossible also there appears to be a large number of non-aviation related items how present in this aviation section! It should also be noted that a number of exhibits owned by the museum are kept in an off-site store which isn't open to the public.

Sadly the "Wings & Wheels" event was disappionting, with a very low aircraft turn out & a generally "flat" atmosphere around the airfield. You also couldn't help but think the flying schools were missing out on business by not having displays set out! By the time we left at 2PM almost all displays were well into the process of shutting up shop.

With the British Parachute Association boogie taking place the school at Langar had borrowed a few extra aircraft in to help with the incease in jumpers. Throughout the week a variety of aircraft had been used, from helicopter to modified Tiger Moth bi-planes! Sadly as the weather (especially the wind) hadn't been kind to them by this time only 2 of the extra aircraft remained.

The "Summer Madness" fly-in at Breighton was accompanied by some lovely weather meaning a very nice turn out of 84 visiting aircraft (I'm told 2 more arrived after we left).

After a tip-off about this Robin-Hood themed fly-in. Speaking to other's that had been around for most of the day the attendance seemed to be just over 30 visitors. Certainly an interesting airfield!

Belvoir Castle 20-08-2011

2011-08-20T21:46:00.001+01:00

A visit to Belvoir Castle for the deHavilland Moth rally. We heard of wide-spread disappointment that the public enclosure was behind 2 fences, with the second being some 30 meters away from the first. This vantage point gave very poor views & made any photography near impossible. Whilst we were able to reach a vantage point to take photographs we never attempted to gain air-side access.

After things had gone quiet at Bristol we headed to Staverton to see what was going on. Included are aircraft that flew or ones from hangars we didn't get in during our last visit.

After a day with some non-flyable conditions we arrived at Dunkeswell thinking that people would be taking advantage of the significant improvement in weather in the evening. However we were wrong! The airfield was closed (it shuts at 18:00L) so it was a case of getting what we could.

Viewing at Exeter is certainly a lot easier if you don't have a car to worry about! The car parks infront of the Terminal building have now been branded "Premier" & I imgine the prices follow! There are howevre still a good number of vantage points to get various views across the airfield.

A visit to Kemble got the Great Vintage Flying Weekend (G-VFWE) wasn't as good as hoped for a number of reasons. First the late confirmation of the event taking place made for less people booking in, this combined with the cross-wind on the day sadly managed to keep most of the vintage aircraft away.

This Thruster was sitting in a field next to the M5! Having driven past we went back to pick out some more details from it.

2011-08-09T17:55:00.000+01:00

As we headed to WestonZoyland there was a lot of very low could & heavy showers around, not to mention the poor visibility. When we arrived to a rather quiet airfield we thought we'd be in for a very boring day, but slowly some of the locals came out to fly & then visitors started to appear! By the end of the day the weather was totally different from the start!

A visit to Brize to get the Polet Il96 proved very frustrating as the new sold fences have been placed around the perimeter making viewing very difficult.
