Brooklands 26th February 2022

After leaving Fairoaks it was still light, so I decided to see if it would be possible to see the Concorde that lives at the Brooklands Museum.

G-BBDG is the only UK Concorde I have never seen. It was an interesting drive past a fun fair and Mercedes World into the Brooklands complex, and I was delighted to see that DG was easy to see from outside. I got this photo from across a  bridge:

I was also reunited with some old friends - the Viscount and Vanguard were regulars at East Midlands when I started spotting!

Fairoaks 26th February 2022

I travelled home via Fairoaks. This is very much the place to see PC-12s - G-OTPL was the best of the several present:

N124PD had obviously come across from Blackbushe

A worthwhile stop - here is the log:

Farnborough 26th February 2022

After leaving Blackbushe I arrived at Farnborough at 0945 to find that the fog had cleared, and that the light was as good as it had been at Blackbushe, and so settled in for the day. 

This lovely PC-24 arrived from Munich

It is rare to see a Portuguese registered aircraft that isn't owned by Netjets like this Falcon 8X  en route to Athens:

There were two Bahrani Gulfstream arrivals - the first one came from just down the road at Bournemouth; this one travelled much further, coming from Sakhir Air Base in Bahrain:

The highlight of the trip was only my second Argentinian Business Jet - unfortunately LV-GQE was parked up all day:

Blackbushe 26th February, 2022

My plan was to visit Farnborough for the day. A good journey round the M25, but as I approached Aldershot, the fog came down, and I decided to divert to Blackbushe in the hope that things would be better there. 

And they were much better, with it being a lovely spring day. Even though it was only 9am, the airfield had a real buzz to it with people getting aircraft ready and some already on their way, such as DA40 G-SBSB:

This American registered helicopter was the highlight:

Farnborough, 5th February 2022

Another Saturday run out to Farnborough saw an enjoyable day, with several new business jets going into the book.
