East Midlands, 29 December, 2017

My final airport visit of 2017 was to East Midlands. The highlight was the three West Atlantic ATPs, but DHL Airbus A.300 D-AEAN was the only aircraft to come within camera range:

Fairoaks, 27 December, 2017

My drive back to the Midlands over Christmas wsa memorable for all the wrong reasons, with me encountering very heavy traffic. With it taking over two hours to the 40 mile stretch on the M25 to reach the Fairoaks turning, I decided I was justified stopping for a break.

There are always a few PC-12s to be seen at Fairoaks, and it was good to see a new one - G-NBCA:

And as I was en route to Leicestershire, it was appropriate to see Leicester City's G-LCFC:
