Redhill, 20 May, 2018

After Biggin Hill, I drove over to Redhill.

Acess here has been restricted compared to my last visit, which depleted the log slightly, but G-CBXW was outside and looking very patriotic:

Biggin Hill, 20 May, 2015

A Sunday morning at Biggin Hill.

The Formula One fleet maybe based here, but they are surprisngly elusive, so I was delighted to see G-OFOM:
The Pilatus PC-12 is a personal favourite, so it was great to get reasonably close to LX-JFA at the end of the runway: 
Highlight of the day though was Falcon 900 RP-C9018. I had seen this aircraft before, but this was the first time it had been possible for a photo:
An excellent visit - the excellent weather tempted many of the based light aircraft out as well:

Shoreham, 6 May 2018

My last visit of the day was to Shoreham.

I usually park along the apporach road here, but that was all cordoned off for building work, so I took my chances leaving the car outside the terminal. 

The German and French aircraft were the most interesting - F-GIRV was nicely parked for a photo:
The two PA-31s were the largest aircraft on the apron:

A worthwhile stop that bought a very enjoyable day to an end.

Lee on the Solent, 6 May 2018

If my trip to Southampton had been my first for eight years, it was even longer since I had last been to Lee on the Solent - thirteen years had passed since my last visit, and it took a little time to find my way into the airport and park up near the viewing area next to the control tower.

A small collection of aircraft were present here - Rochester resident G-BRGI was particularly well parked for a snap:
Even though it was getting late, it was still very warm, and the airfield remained busy, with several movers going into the log:

Southampton, 6 May, 2018

After Popham I travelled home along the 'southern' route. Half an hour driving through some lovely Hampshire countryside saw me arriving at Southampton, where I parked in the station's multi story.

It was late afternoon on a bank holiday Sunday, so it is no surprise that the airport wsn't very busy. However, I amid several Flybe aircraft, it was good to see this ATR of Blue Islands arriving from Guernsey, albeit in Flybe livery:
And biz jet traffic, such as German Learjet D-CGGG was very welcome.

It was my first stop at Eastleigh for several years, and when I left after a 30 minute stay, I did so pleased to have returned to the airport. Here is my log:

G-PRPH De Havilland Canada DHC-8-402NG Flybe

Popham, 6 May 2018

And so finally, to Popham.

A quick breakfast in the car, and then I was going on to the airfield a few minutes after the gates opened at 1000. G-BSRH was looking very colourful:
 But G-BZWN had an absolutely stunning livery:
But the day was all about the lighter end of aviation, such as G-MOMA:
While there were plenty of weightshift machines such as G-CBZO which was obviously staying for the evening:
Over 190 aircraft went into the log:
