Civilian Aviation

A visit to Kemble on Saturday to catch up with latest. Quite a few enthusiasts around.
Airport gate open Tuesday to Saturday. AV8 building shut, but burger van (good value) and porterloo’s on site. Check Cotswold website for any changes.

My thanks to Maltatripper for his recent excellent report –

Many more pics in an album on my FlickR, a record of the day. Pete.

A fine display of beautifull machines.
Hopefully ready for a second life. Regret that everything has to end like this.

Great pictures thank you. I haven't been in since it reopened so interesting to see the latest arrivals 'up close'. Some definitely look like they are in for storage rather than part-out / scrap.

Nice pictures, making me excited for my yearly visit tomorrow
