Last Friday the wx was great and for the first time, Elvington fitted into the itinerary after some IFR holds, brunch in Wellesbourne and even Oxford before heading back to base with Vanhigher.
We had a great day and Elvington was the icing on the cake. It's great to see a taxi speed on the GPS and being on the ground....nowhere
You must get PPR and we were asked to make it p.m.
What an amazing airfield
Turning final to Rwy 08 after an initial flyby
Look out for a follow me to guide you through the cones - Red Letter type high speed driving taking place
They were very welcoming - if you need fuel both Avgas and Jet A1 are available, however arrange at time of booking.
Landing fee a very pleasant surprise and entry to the museum for the pilot.
Yes it's the home of the Victor and it was going to taxi under its own power the next day.
There is a Portakabin where you can do some planning and somewhere to eat and drink in the museum - can't comment as it was a brief cup of coffee, walk around the museum and back over Robin Hood southbound.
Look forward to another fine day and chance to do it in the single - OK VH
