Turweston & Sywell Visits - 14 June

Post by Cessna954 » Sun Jun 17, 2018 7:36 pm

Whilst working up in Northampton on Thursday I popped in to both Turweston and Sywell Airfields. Both were quite a surprise with great facilities and a good selection of interesting aircraft.

Turweston, a few record shots.

Seneca G-BBLU looks as though it hasn't flown for some time.

Sywell was a great surprise. Whilst I knew that the BAeS would be present for an aerobatic competition, I didn't know about the resident warbird restorer and their cache of former BoB film Hispanos.
