While I enjoyed an easy departure from the Fairford car parks - leaving early helped - it took me some time to escape the traffic management system that was taking me from the 'Blue' car parks back to the M4 and head north. However, the countryside in this part of the world makes for a very pleasant drive, and it took me around an hour to arrive at Brize.
The base was busy with a Hercules arriving shortly after me. The two Canadian paradroppers were welcome, and another interesting civil visitor was the Gulfstream from Bahrain. Brize Norton joins Farnborough, Manchester and Palma as airfields where I have seen this frame.
The military traffic was what you would expect here. This Atlas was the only aircraft within range of the camera - taking the shot attracted considerable interest from the on base security.
