Gamston - 09/03/14

The morning of Sunday March 9th dawned sunny and warm, which gave yours truly something of a dilemma.

Should I make a start on wading through the 1000+ images I’d taken during the previous day’s trip to Luton and Heathrow? Or should I see if my wife was willing to drive us to Gamston for breakfast at ‘The Apron’?

Happily, the prospect of someone else making breakfast appealed to both of us, and we set off on the short trip down the A1. I had hoped the glorious weather might lead to an influx of visitors; as it happened there was not a lot going on, with local aircraft undertaking most of the activity while we were there.

Slingsby T67M Firefly G-BLVI still sports the basic colour scheme it wore during its time with Hunting Aviation, as part of the RAF’s EFTS contract.
