Evening All The following 8 flex-wings dropped in to Barton for some fuel this morning on their way back south after toruing ?Scotland? :) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7071/7157537823_a7f77ae25c_b.jpg G-BYRU by QSY on-route , on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8145/7157595007_61f4e2cb0d_b.jpg ...

Hi Gary Nice shots there although they do look to have a bit of a blue colour cast on them? Could have been a post-processing thing or maybe a filter you had on your lens?! I'll just add my shot of the 182 (in I suspect it's factory paint job) departing... http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8009/73374839...

Evening Reggie I don't know how you managed to sneak those last couple through the radar!! The weather was a little different this afternoon as he departed Barton on his final mission... & indeed good luck to Mark in his new job :thumb: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7081/7321649500_0d43ce1d10_b.jpg ...

Hi All Further to my shots in the GA section these few of helicopters shows that the rain returned with a bit of force today! G-LVDC Bell 206L - This diverted in to pick up some extra fuel to cope with the poor weather & let a cell pass overhead the field http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7233/732165014...

Hi All After the sunshine last week you could be forgiven that thinking we were out of the winter, but today strongly affirmed we weren't! Although this didn't stop some of the strong brand that is the British GA pilot from venturing out... Some pictures demonstrating the rain are over in the helico...

Hi Beefstake

Nice shots there, that must be some zoom you've got to get those!

Cheers

Hi Steve

I like the shot of the As355 turning! I

Cheers

Interesting catch there Flying Ants!

I suspect the non-standard placement of the reg will be something do to with the fact it recently had an exemption from displaying any external marks

Cheers,

Very nice! You seem to be getting a nice selection of AW139's through Norwich at the minute

Very smart scheme, looks at home on the B744

Hi Kristof

Some great shots there, it's nice to see some from outside the UK It would be lovely to see some of those across in the UK for some fly-in's this year

Cheers,

Thanks

Hi All A nice selection of rotary traffic at Barton today, this post just features visitors but there where many more based helicopters taking to the air during the day (the most I've seen for a while actually) :) G-CDWY Agusta A109 - Dropped in for some JetA1 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7214/7236...

Evening Steve I like your shots of the Vans & the Mooney :) :thumb: If it's all-right with yourself I'll add my pictures onto this thread to save starting another! It's a very nice feeling to be able to fill a post with just visitors! G-BCSL Chipmunk http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7237/7236318762_2dd...

Hi Rich

Good shot there, I'm still yet to be convinced about the styling of any of these 'very light jets' I must admit!

Afternoon all, For those of us that thought Woodford had seen it's last aircraft movement today came as quite a shock with the movement of G-PWNS! The aircraft itself could do with an injection of a bit of colour to contrast the lovely Manchester May weather! http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5117/71716...

Nice ones as always Rich, good to see a Puma in England!

Ahh! That'll be nice to have back in the air!

As I understand it both the Bulldog & Pup were properly put into storage, with things like the fuel tanks etc being removed to help preserve the airframes. I guess that'll help the restoration efforts!

Cheers

Hi Reggie

I believe so! Although the pilot isn't going to be giving any more back-seat rides in this beastie!

Cheers
