Tuesday 19th - Transporter Tuesday once more with Ascot 815 an RAF C17 ZZ174 joining the holing circuit around 1515 it remained so for just under an hour and shot the ILS on runway 32 twice during its visit.
Wednesday 20th - A couple of local movers included SR22 N347DC through the day and GA visitors included a visit from PA28 G-LVRS arriving from Elstree around 1140 this morning before heading back the other way around 1600. Cessna F406 G-SMMB c/s MB1692 arived from Inverness at approx 1110 this mornin. Meanwhile Islander G-HEBS which has been at LBA from the 5th May went out on what appeared to be a grand tour of Yorkshire departing shortly after Midday and landing back at Leeds at 1545. The purpose of the flight didi not become apparent until a review on FR24 playback revealed a huge NHS written above the North Yorks and lower Peak District areas. G-HEBS subsequenly departed back to Oban leaving us around 1720. PA31 G-IFIT appeared to make a welcome return to Leeds arriving back from Lasham at 1500, the aircraft had been based at Leeds East earlier during the lockdown.

Is apt opening for general aviation and is helibase at Coney Park active ? thanks for any info. Rgds Alan
ReplyDeleteHi Alan,
ReplyDeleteYes the Airport is open for all types of air traffic,but usually only Tuesday and Wednesday between 08.00 and 16.00 local time(occasionally it has opened for a few hours on other days). Not much doing at Coney Park, only heard one or two going in recently,but it appears to be open most days.
All the best,
Dave E
