Back to the Future
 
By Dave Anderson, Matt Falcus, Andrew Povey and Chris Smith
 
Written and logged by Chris Smith
 
After schedule conflicts got in the way last year the band was back together to resume our annual pilgrimage to Fairford, with the added bonus of it being a Farnborough year too which always bolsters the former.

When starting to look at our route towards Oxford our overnight stay before Fairford a number of airfields were looked at to call in on the way, however when we found out Old Warden were holding their "Summer Evening" event this worked out very nicely for us instead.
 
Day One
Saturday 20th July
 
East Midlands Airport
EMA / EGNX
 
First stop the oligatory call in at East Midlands, where the haul was perhaps a little more than the average thanks to a higher than usual number of DHL on the deck. Much to our frustration, Global 7500 C-GXNU would be towed out of Airborne Colours after we left. The Air Horizont is in primer and due to be scrapped after corrosion was discovered when it was stripped.

Leicester Airport
LRC / EGBG
 
We began our visit with a cracking brekkie in the Aero Club café. A huge credit and thanks must go out to former Teesside spotter Brad Simpson, who after working for Leicester-based Helicentre Aviation for a while has recently moved across to the airport fire department and very kindly hosted us on his day off, showing us in every single hangar, some of which are hidden in plain sight! There was a Pup/Auster fly-in taking place today and this brought many enthusiasts to the airfield and they were being shown around by Brad's colleagues although they got in less hangars. The fly-in originally didn't plan on informing Leicester they were coming, 20 plus aircraft were just going to show up! Thanks to social media exposure the airfield had been able to intervene and liaise with them prior. Brad was incredibly knowledgable about his airfield, one snippet was that G-IIDY is the only prototype Pitts not on display in the Pitts Museum, as such they are attempting to purchase it!

Cranfield Airport
EGTC
 
Matt was pleased to visit here as it had long been on his list, Dave and Chris were the only ones who have been before, although much had changed since Dave's last visit. A wonderful little airfield with lot's of nooks and crannies and hidden gems, you never quite know what you're gonna get. A new viewing spot for us was near the shelter with G-DOCB inside, look for the landing gear leg on display and head left, this will give a great view over the airfield. Chris has been pushing Teesside to look at the Cranfield model, every airport has an academy these days (it's almost clichéd), why not go further and have an entire campus?

Old Warden Aerodrome
EGTH
 
Old Warden was a first for all bar Dave who was last there in 1981. Chris did the most Chris thing ever when it was discovered during the journey down he hadn't purchased a ticket! Luckily he was able to do so on his phone with ease! Old Warden is known as the home of The Shuttleworth Collection, and everything therein is vintage, with WWII airframes being as state-of-the-art as it gets. The interesting thing is, it's not really run as an airfield as such, whilst I'm sure conventional GA is welcome (there was plenty there for the show), you get the impression there isn't anything newer than the 1950s based here, not least of all because the hangarage is limited and no doubt needed for the Shuttleworth Collection. Given the pedigree of the participants, the air show lacked speed but made up for it in other ways, for example three bi-planes taking off and flying in formation tied together by bunting which was nothing short of superb! Another spectacle was some bi-planes and a couple of Miles Magisters or similar repeatedly flying at 3 or 4ft off the ground between two poles connected with bunting being held by two individuals. Whilst entertaining it looked needlessly dangerous, although I'm sure it was all compliant. There were plenty of overflights to be seen here including Luton arrivals, and Chris really struggled with them - displaying vertigo symptoms having never suffered with it before. It persisted the next day though not quite as bad, not good for the hobby and he ought to go get it checked out! Great to bump into David Thompson here!

London Oxford Airport
OXF / EGTK
 
After Old Warden it was off to our usual digs at the Premier Inn Oxford Airport, as usual full with RIAT attendees. The light was starting to fade and there had been some talk of getting up early and driving around the airport first thing in the morning but in the end we chose to quickly blast around now. We were disappointed to find the terminal building is now barriered off, although we get the impression you can get through during daytime. A new hangar has appeared next to the old cross-runway off Banbury Road, it's at a 90 degree angle to the almost identical large biz hangar, itself still new, so you can see across easy enough without a need to drive around to it. A crash gate just off Langford Lane gives excellent views across the airport and compensated for not being able to access the terminal area. We got back to the hotel just in time for a quick pint, then off to bed ready for a long day ahead.

RAF Fairford
FFD / EGVA
 
After a hassle free drive into the show, the volunteers were smart enough to carry out the security checks before the queue to get in, just a shame they couldn't do the ticket checks at the same time for even greater efficiency, then it would just be a case of lifting the curtains and letting people pile in - a bit like when the nags are released at the Grand National. We went straight to find a spot to park ourselves for the duration, there was no hope of getting the fenceline but we were close enough. We then took turns to go get brekkie, and work the 2.7 miles of static, including the exceptional 19-strong "Viper Line". For both Fairford and Farnborough, aircraft are listed by type then operator, not serial.

London Heathrow Airport
LHR / EGLL
 
We got to Heathrow early enough to enjoy a pleasant few hours at Myrtle Avenue, but not before checking into the T4 Premier Inn to secure high level airport-facing rooms - which we all did, although they were only really needed for a quick check for anything exotic the next morning. After Myrtle Avenue we went straight to the restaurant for a decent meal then called time on an excellent day. Only the newer BA were logged.

Straight in and parked with just a little slow moving traffic, then straight on a bus and into the show relatively hassle free. We entered the show ground at the eastern end and slowly made our way west, logging both the static and the airport-side as we went. Both sides were quieter than in previous years. Great to bump into Dave Rose whilst here, calling in on his way home from a cruise. With a low cloud base set in for the day, we decided to leave early prior to the flying display starting.

London Luton Airport
LTN / EGGW
 
The obligatory call-in at Luton found a rammed airport. We went to the long stay and logged Harrods plus the pax stuff, then Dave dropped Chris and Matt off at the former Gulfstream hangar then him and Andrew went off to the Holiday Inn Express to log the Signature apron, while Chris and Matt worked their way back to them via the old Gulfstream areas (now just a further extension of Signature I think?). This was likely the first time any of us had been here since the big fire last year, and when we looked over to the remains of the multistorey, we could see vehicles moving within - we don't recall them having two next to each other but they must have with the destroyed one now fully demolished?

East Midlands Airport
 
Final stop of the trip was another obligatory visit to East Midlands, ideally placed to break up the driving - and finishing where we began. We went to the services first for some KFC, before the usual wizz around the perimeter, trying not to stop now they've introduced the double-red lines. Anything seen on our first visit has been excluded, being a weekend cargo remained unchanged with the exception of DHL who had almost completely rotated airframes.

So ends another world class trip, with planning for next years having already begun. Mind you, Chris kipped during most driving legs and with 'ticketgate' at Old Warden plus his usual "Chris-isms" there were jokes of him being dropped! At least...he hopes they were jokes!!!! A big thanks must go out to Dave for driving, not least of all because of the amount of driving down to London he has done in a short timeframe, including the prior Hamburg trip plus some non-spotting journeys.
