Here's a few shots I took at Shoreham today. Nothing too exotic. Just a typical holiday weekend. Add a little sunshine & the old airport comes to life. Spring is here at last. Cheesy

I'm a little concerned about G-AXNNs U/C, it appears to only have 2 wheels Grin

Hmm. I hadn't noticed that. Have to be more careful what I post in future if you're gonna be picky. Tongue Cheesy 

I was more concerned about the main oleo struts. They looked a little tired & saggy to me. I used to overhaul them & they're right little so & sos. The nose strut isn't much better come to think of it. Roll Eyes

Mind you I've had the misfortune to see breasts that are more saggy than that U/C, there really should be a law against the over 35s DD brigade sunbathing topless Shocked Grin

What a nice variation of aircraft you've got at Shoreham. I wish I could meet those amounts of aircraft in Weinheim (EDGZ; mainly sailplanes).  Tongue

It's a Britten Norman Trislander. 3-engined stretched version of the Islander. They use them on the Channel Island service. Very interesting but I'm not too keen on the look of it myself. I suspect they pinched the idea from the DC-10.
