I put a few photos here. As for the approach procedure......I found it worked well at the time we arrived. We routed in using the advisory via Sandhill/Redlands gap, Blakehill and Malmesbury. Didn't need to orbit at Malmesbury so turned North East to the railway, left onto base and left onto final.

No problems with speed or spacing, but on final at about 250' AGL I was overtaken (literally over the top) by a French registered PA28 aircraft which cause my heart to flutter a bit. I looked up and saw the wheels and thought....that's interesting. Anyway went from number 1 back to number 2 to land. She landed long and I landed at the start of the black section of 26 hard. No harm done.

Marshalling worked well and we were shut down in no time.

On the way out it was, as I mentioned on the other thread, very slick. The controller was working extremely hard but kept it cool and flowing an absolute credit to the ATCO profession.
