As to M-STAR, I 'think' that Lasham is the only Mx option for B727's this side of the Atlantic nowadays.

Nice, just rinsing my paint roller outside and was treated to a flypast by the other new-build 2-seat Spit, BS410/G-TCHI. On its way back to Biggin from Lee-on-Solent by the looks of it.

M-STAR is a regular 'ish' visitor to Lasham, hope she continues operating as bit of a soft spot for her as she spent a fair bit of time in DWC over the last 10+ years.

C-5M just headed south-westwards over the top, 83-1285... Got a brief glimpse through the fluffy stuff, looked a lot lower than the reported 32000'! See it was the first C-5B off the reopened production line, first flight in 1985.

Was there a storm warning?
1: I saw M-STAR depart Stanstead back in March. She looks gorgeous in that executive sheme!
2: At the other end of the spectrum, a Grob 109 just puttered overhead homeplate here in Norfolk. At least someone can make them fly, even if the Air Cadets can't......
Exit stage right to dig slit trench in the garden........

Here comes another Galaxy, SW across London - have the passing showers passed sufficiently to view this behemoth?
They had, lovely view!
They had, lovely view!
By chance I noticed it coming, by chance it turned over London heading towards the Atlantic....and by chance the clouds zipped together, turned dark grey and emptied their soggy contents serenaded by thunder and lightning.........
Lucky you!
