The picture doesn't do the scheme justice, I'm pretty sure the paint is pearlescent (or looks that way when I've seen it)

There's a C182 Amphibian based at Blackbushe, G-ESSL which is in an attractive blue scheme

A question for all you civil spotters out there, where do you spot at in LHR, GATWICK LONDON City and Stansted. I may be jumping the gun here a bit, but i'm guessing that Luton still had the Spectators area? The spectators area at Luton went a few years ago, it's now Ocean Sky's FBO At London City,...

As with any hobby, the individual make's up their own rules of the hobby so what types do people spot? I take anything with a reg' on it although I do normally just chase bizjets/props and military transports with the rest seen 'as and when'. However, I don't do "dot spotting", I prefer to see them ...

There's a great restaurant at Compton Abbas airfield, great food and good views across the airfield/scenery

At East Mid's, there's a fish & chip shop in Castle Donnington or there's The Nag's Head at the start of the lane down to the crash gate if you fancy a pub meal

The Beechjet certianly looks nice in the new Netjets colour scheme

Nope, N100VA is the one based at Oxford

N500UK was Blackpool based but I think it has been sold now

If you're visiting the area at the weekend, there's RAF Weston on the Green. There was a very nice looking Do28 (HA-VOC) being used by the Skydiving centre last time I went (although with a reg' like that, not sure I'd like to jump out of it :) ) along with a few Gliders Enstone is certianly worth a...

Enstone is usually friendly, I've visited a couple of times and asked in the clubhouse on the Southside and always found them to be friendly and co-operative. The guy's on the Northside (by the Tower) are usually friendly too but don't forget to ask permission again to look around here.

Flybe kept that order quiet then

It was actually a PLUNA CRJ9 that FlyBE were doing maintenance on
