Line up at Enstone before departure. Spitfire, the Cherokee-looking Auster, Cherokee-looking Chipmunk and Piper Cub. The Auster on climb out from Enstone. Tim taxying out for takeoff from Wellsebourne Mountford A bit low there! G-AWOL on approach to 18 at Wellesbourne. (Note the custom registration plate on the coaming!)
Two puffs of smoke from the Cub's wheels as Peter arrives at Wellesbourne in G-AWOL. OK, so it should've been a 3-pointer, but every landing's a good one that you walk away from! Pete A inbound to Wellesbourne in the wonderfully "distressed" Chipmunk G-CPCA. Don't you just love the battered coaming! It's been around a bit this aircraft. G-AWOL in the background arrives to join the others on the grass at Wellesbourne. Tony D's awesome Spitfire G-SAJD dominates the lineup when it doesn't look like a ghostly P51 Mustang! We all have a cuppa in Wellesbourne Mountford's excellent café, clearly shown in Gary Summons' Airports 2000 scenery.
The view on Servinfo of the Club's aircraft descending on Gloucester ..and the view using FSNAV's multiplayer function. The Auster G-BBMB joining overhead Gloucester. The slip road to the nearby M5 can be seen below. G-AWOL inbound to Gloucester, sloooowly. (75 miles an hour cruising speed).
Tony's two-screen VATSIM set up, with, on the left hand screen, from the top clockwise - AVC tuner - Dial in the radio frequencies on those wonderful Go-Flight units, AVC itself, Teamspeak for our "Club chat" as we fly and after the outings, and Squawkbox for ATC. From the left, Piper Cub, Auster, Chipmunk and P51-looking Spitfire. We managed to get a good straight line this week, and G-BILL, a local Gloucester pilot joins us at the far end to make it 5.
