I bumped into an old friend yesterday. He belongs to a syndicate that owns & flies several aircraft including a lovely little Piper Cub. The chaps kindly allowed me to take some shots before they left for a fly-in somewhere in Devon.

Wish I had £1 for every time I've done this. Never swung a left-hander though.

Bye for now. Have a good trip. Wink

The last time I remember being on this side of the airfield is in 1962. This hangar is where I worked for my first 2 years in the business. Things have changed a bit since then but it brings back many happy memories. Wink

I've been promised a flight in that pretty little Cub but not today.

Lovely stuff Doug, really nice Wink

So I trust you'll have your camera packed for that flight? Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Oops sorry. I forgot to mention it's Shoreham Airport. The old hangar is at the north end, directly opposite the Sussex Pad Hotel. I think the original part (not visible in my shots) was a temporary blister hangar built during WWII. It's still in better condition than the extension in my photos (including the doors) which was added long after my time there. A very pleasant place to work although it was a tad chilly in the winter. Roll Eyes

Naturally. You should know by now that my camera goes everywhere I go - well almost everywhere. Grin

Should have guessed it was Shoreham!
