Two! In one place!

[Herr-Berbunch]

Went shopping today, as I got out the car on returning home VeRA flew past, but about a mile away, still a distinctive shape and sound. Lovely. Another day of giving flights from Humberside.

A short while later I was driving to Brigg, going past the airport she was on the ground again, with the Buchon (G-AWHE) (Spanish copy of a 109) was parked just behind her.

On my return journey both had engines running and the Buchon was waiting for a Jetstream to land and clear the runway before taxiing to the far end to take off. So I (having previously sussed out what I hoped would be a suitable location after the police had closed all local lay-bys) stopped and took a walk amongst the approach lights.

Didn't have to wait too long before -



(Not too bad for a smartphone camera)

This was followed by a Jetstream, which isn't much of a rarity here, Eastern Air run them up and down the coast to Aberdeen from here, but this one hung about - maybe it's just a pilot wanting to wait around for VeRA to get airborne.

Which she did -



Nice low take off, held about 250-300' for ages before climbing and the Jetstream tucking in behind, I suspect it's a photo chase plane.





I'm one happy bunny.
