By Chris Smith
Following my previous visit to Heathrow that turned out to be a complete waste of time in terms of spotting (but served a purpose within the larger trip) I felt I needed to come back and "clean up shop", so a visit was booked at short notice in one my favourite airport hotels, the T4 Premier Inn, where even just four days beforehand the prices were impressively dirt cheap, meaning a second day was added.
The trip got off to a great start, I remembered a Jordanian Government bizjet going into Leeming the night before, so I called in expecting it to have left as in the past it has always departed just as quick as it arrived, but on this occasion it was still in. A visit to Walton Wood Airfield was scrubbed as an e-mail to them revealed they cannot accommodate enthusiasts contrary to Internet reports and they cited owners not wanting their helicopters photographed as the reason, but as far as I'm concerned they forfeit that right when they buy them!!
The usual wizz around East Midlands delivered mostly the usual traffic with a couple of decent bizjets positioned well for shots.
Fellow updater Dave Rose has reported Luton as being particularly quiet of late yet I was shocked at just how quiet it was. There was an element of quality over quantity (it seems to be the residents that are missing), and it made me feel a bit better about our own shortcomings this hunting season because if Luton can't pull in the biz what chance have we got!!
At Heathrow the intention was to catch up on not just British fleets but those of all the major players too, consequently I've only logged what I needed from BA, Virgin, Aer Lingus, Air France, Lufthansa and KLM. Over the three days I boxed off a good chunk but still fell short of my target. Heathrow is no longer the A380 capital of the world, with Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways dropping them completely and Qantas, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines switching to a mixed operation. On the second day I was weighing up either popping north to Northolt, a bogey aerodrome of mine that I've never had any luck with in the past, or south to catch up with current events at Fairoaks, mainly to violate the unacceptable "no spotters" signs that were there last time I visited. In the end, after a very pleasant walk from the Premier Inn to Myrtle Avenue where I spent a relaxed couple of hours up until runway change at 3pm, I decided to bin both ideas on the grounds that I couldn't be arsed, and instead had a siesta in my hotel room where too many required airframes were lost.
On day three after a hearty breakfast I logged from my hotel room until check-out time before heading back to Luton for another blast around. Both times I did my usual trick of dumping my car in the long-stay, hopping on the free shuttle bus to the terminal, before walking back on myself. Luton was just as quiet, but still yielded enough to satisfy, including OE-IOO - nothing special about the airframe but definitely one of the best liveries in the skies today and I'd been hoping to capture it in camera ever since DTVA ATCo Steve Curtis sent the updaters a link to a video of it being painted. I haven't included any aircraft still in from my prior visit. Like with Northolt/Fairoaks, I was in two minds whether or not to visit Cranfield, as whilst it looks like a stones throw away from Luton and the M1 on Google Earth, in reality it is quite well off the beaten track. This time I decided to visit and I'm glad I did, the place is an overlooked gem, with two Air Libya RJ100s being the highlights. There's so many nooks and crannies you have to go exploring and you will still miss stuff, it's like Indiana Jones meets plane spotting. It's actually a big university dressed up as an airfield and such is the scale that I wandered around for ages trying to find a tucked away parking apron from last time with no success, turns out a large part of the more southerly parking area has been bulldozed and a large new hangar and car park built on it. One thing I did find at the third time of trying, is the wreck of C501 G-VUEM which crashed at Birmingham a few years back. You can't get too near it and unfortunately it's the good side that is visible, with the more visually interesting burnt out side facing away. The cab of crashed Bond EC225 G-REDU is also here and is slightly more accessible, and the wings of an ultralight in a trailer make up the three relics in this salvage yard just off the airport complex. There's also the crashed remains of a train carriage too which was quite an interesting sight. I bet if you knew what buildings were what you could add a number of ground instructional airframes to the log just by peering through windows, and there must be a gate guard, or something on display on a pole or similar kicking about somewhere, this is the kind of airport where no matter how many times you come back, you'll always discover something new.
A final blast around East Midlands revealed not much other than a busier-than-usual daytime DHL cargo apron and broke up a nightmarish drive home due to bad traffic, fuel emergencies, fatigue at the wheel, more bad traffic and A1M closures all resulting in a 9.15pm arrival back home as opposed to the scheduled 5pm!
