No - not me gossiping although I'm pretty good at that. 8)
It's been at least 2 days since I popped into the local airport so I had to go & get my fix. Nothing exotic today but I never get tired of watching aircraft taking off & landing.
A nice steady westerly wind blowing so the smaller types were using Runway 25. Ideal for my old spotting haunt by the river bank. Here's a selection of the ordinary types you can see puttering around here every day - literally arriving "over the fence".
A general view across the airfield with Lancing College chapel basking in the sunshine. This really is an idyllic spot. The weather was not nearly as dull as it looks in this shot.
Two Chipmunks on the airfield today. Just like the old days.
GA types seem to be overlooked for some reason. I have plenty more like this if anyone is interested.

Glad you like 'em. These "ordinary" planes were always my first love. I suspected that me & Foz weren't the only ones. I got my first job in aviation at the local flying club on this airfield over 40 years ago. It was a wonderful place to work. Mind you, they were all taildraggers in those days, proper aeroplanes.

That's a bit of a dilemma Paul. I'm only a beginner at this lark. It would be lovely to have nice blurred prop disks but in my case you would get blurred aeroplanes too.
PS. Now I know you like them I'll post a few more later.
