Air traffic

Spent yesterday afternoon at Tatenhill airfield on the open day. Not much happening but this beauty arrived later in the pm so took some photos.


This is a Diamond DH42, owened by Diamond-Executive Aviation Ltd


This is the Diamond departing, with the MD in the passenger seat. This aircraft had just flown down from Darley Dale microlight field. It was the first aircraft to land on the concrete runway there since World War II, as it has now been cleared, and is a short runway as well, so this did well to get off. The MD had to travel to Tatenhill by car as weight was too much for this aircraft to get off on such a short runway.


A good show of the design of this aircraft, very sleek and sexy. Only £350 per hour to hire


Another view, and a good day to go flying.

There were other aircraft there, which I will update when sorted, including a Firefly. We also got an invite to fly into Cranwell's open day in August, this via the owner of the Firefly that was there, pics later. That will be great.
