A nice weekend day at Headcorn alsways sees plenty of aircraft, and the first really nice weekend of the year saw me arriving at around 0930.

Nice weather usually tempts a few visitors from the across the Channel. Today, however, only PH-SKC was tempted to make the trip:-

G-ANXR/RM221 providedsome pseudo-military action:  

G-XVAJ did a round trip to the Isle of Wight

While G-AVNO provided a patriotic end to the day:

It was a good start ot the season - here is the log:
