Another day in paradise (Kirkwall Airport)

Bits and Bobs

Well its that time again when I try and think what to write next in this blog.  We have had a lot of traffic lately and I have not managed to photograph everything but I hope you like some of these.

The first unusual aircraft is a pressurised Cessna 210 with a turbine up front, N54CC from Canada

And the inside

WE had a musical interlude while we had visiting Ministers from Malawi.  They were piped into the terminal by Stephen Cooper and Eddie Nicolson

WE have had many German visitors over the last few weeks, the first is D-EDKY, DA40

And D-EEDL, a BE35

And the inside

Then it was off to Stornoway where I snapped this Hawker 400, F-HITM

And on the way through Inverness, G-JECU Q400

Then it was back to Kirkwall where I snapped these Seneca's D-GDWL and D-GWMF

And I do not have a scooby what this is but I snapped it anyway, here is D-MIEL

Then it was a winged bird of a different variety.  As I was walking back to my car at the end of the day, I was aware of being watched.  Here is the guilty party, a friendly Pied Wagtail.

But back to aircraft, the next day we had a low pass by XV260, Nimrod

Another aircraft with a parachute, G-ZOGT, Cirrus SR20

Our friends from Blink popped in again, here is G-FLBK, Citation Mustang

And the inside

Foul weather brought in G-REDO, Rescue Super Puma

The next group of photos were taken last thursday night when we had a short visit from a charity flight group aiming to raise awareness and money for Flying for the disabled.  They left Jersey Airport at 0430 and arrived withus around 1830 still to fly to Sumburgh and back to Inverness.

First Piper Aztec G-BBRA

N646C0 Cessna 210

And the aircraft that Liz Harcus from Security wants for christmas G-LIZZ

Incidentally, Liz tells me that her sons are regular readers of this blog so, Hi Guys, thanks for taking the time, much appreciated.

Then the next Cessna 210 G-BSGT

Here are the bold heros, knackered but happy

The penultimate shot is of the aircraft fired up and ready to go

And finally, the formation fly past, thanks for the visit, hope your trip was a success.

Thats it for just now.  As always thanks for taking the time to pop past.  Till next time
