Fairoaks 13th July, 2017

On my way home from RAF Fairford I decided to cut the corner where the M3 and M25 meet and visit Fairoaks.

It was well worth doing, with two interesting helicopters. Firstly, Swiss S-76 HB-ZMS
And then, representing the still newish San Marino register, AW139 T7-LSS

RAF Fairford, 13th July, 2017

Poor diary management is the curse of the enthusiast, and particularly poor diary management over the middle of July meant I was only going to be able to attend Fairford for the Thursday arrivals day.

An 0800 arrival saw me reaching the runway just as Boeing 737 N835BA departed:
An impressive aircraft, but I was hoping for something a little more exciting, and the Ukrainians didn't disappoint with an impressive arrival:
Another lively arrival was performed by the Royal Netherlands Air Force Helcules that perfomed a low flyby and then tight circuit before landing:
The RAF provided several A400Ms, but this Luftwaffe one was much more interesting:
The Belgian Air Force had its smokewinders on as it landed:
RAF Voyager ZZ334 was one of the last arrivals before I started the long journey home:
