Hi, A short visit to HG on Thursday, amongst the movements were these two helicopters. I think G-WPDC may have stayed overnight while G-BOXT passed through on a NAVEX. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/IMG_8012_web.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/IMG_8016_web.jp...

Hi Steve,
A couple of nice pics there, nearly went myself on Sunday. Good idea to take the caravan too.

A couple of hours at Shawbury today and one of the movements was this:

Presumably classed as civilian now?
I believe it was previously ZR326.

Hi Steve, I've been down there this morning and the DA-42 was there, it left and hadn't returned by the time I came home. Three Squirrels including a Shawbury machine, Jet Ranger and a lovely Slingsby Firefly were among the movements this morning, but I may have missed an Islander this afternoon as ...

Hi Steve,
Nice set, I particularly like the Commander's colour scheme. I haven't been out much lately myself due to work and family commitments but I still hope to meet up with you at HG for a chat.Will send you a pm tomorrow.
Cheers, Colin.

Thanks for the comments. Kate has had a few tries with my camera but wanted one of her own so I bought her a Fuji S9500 to play with. She's taken some nice shots so far but these were her first try with aircraft . I'm going to take her to Cad West to see how she gets on with some (hopefully) fast mo...

Hi all, Took Kate (the wife) to HG today to try out her camera.She's only just started with photography so I think she's doing ok. What do you think? http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/Kates%20photos/kate006.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/Kates%20photos/kate005....

Thanks for the comments, I'm sure I have a lot more somewhere which would narrow it down but can't find them.
Going on your info for the A300 Reggie, it must have been 1988, so that does help a lot
cheers, Colin.

Hi everyone, I took these photos at the old observation lounge quite a few years ago.I have no idea of the date but I think maybe late 80's- early 90's. Not very good shots I'm afraid but I only had a cheap camera back then. Any help appreciated,thanks. Colin. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140...

Very nice, especially the second one.
Colin.

Hi Steve,
nice pics, how long has the Skymaster been there? I haven't seen it myself. Hopefully I'll be over there next Sunday.

Colin.

Thanks Steve,
I'm usually parked up in the nearest corner of the car park to the helipads, just look for a met blue Rover 45.I sometimes sit over in the viewing area around the tower, with a canon 100-400 in my hand. If you see me, come over for a chat

Hi Mike,
thanks, I really enjoy my little ventures to HG, I only live a few miles away so it's my regular Sunday morning out as a rule. Been visiting there for about 42 years now.

Hi all, Just a couple of shots from HG on Thursday, nice light conditions to take photos. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/hg0001.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/hg0002.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/hg0003.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com...

Hi Steve,
Nice shots.
I was down there myself on Thursday till about lunchtime, a few aircraft I haven't seen before were in and out.
Did you see the Gazelle YU-HET and MD900 N902JW?

Colin.

Hi everyone, My first post on here, had a quick visit to my local Halfpenny Green this morning and caught this rather nice Allouette in for fuel. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/allouetteii0001.jpg http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t140/Colin9900/allouetteii0002.jpg http://i159.ph...
