Canary country circular tour 19-04-2019, stage 3 - Northrepps

[andygolfer]

I knew I should have turned the sat-nav voice on when I left Norwich but I was trying to follow the football ! missed a turning somewhere round Aylsham and ended up half way to Holt! Finally arrived at Northrepps and met up with Mike Burdett who showed us round the hangars and took us out onto the grass for some photos. A lovely airfield with a good mixture of aircraft and some nice views / backgrounds for the pics. Mike said that when they land on the SE - NW runway you can get excellent evening photos and I would love the chance to try!

starting on the airfield, there were a few aircraft parked alongside the fence and some across by the aforementioned runway....

Nice shots Andy. I saw CEAM & CJAK depart Sywell. Seemed to be that everything was heading for Northrepps or Skegness.

thanks Gavin - a great day to go flying to the seaside, I bet their flight back was a bit awkward though - straight into the low sun.

There were some nice subjects in the hangars too.
