Portugal Parte Um 11th - 13th January 2019

The first trip of 2019 saw LB and Nay head to Portugal for the first time. Another country chalked up. As it was only a short trip we decided to just stick to the Lisbon area as there was plenty to do.

A 1700 departure from Luton saw us board the relatively new G-WUKI for the two and a bit hour hop over to Lisboa on W94493. After picking up the car we headed over to what would become our regular spot at 38.7826, -9.13934. From here you can see all movements and the majority of the airport.

LIS is obviously mainly TAP and not really a great deal else. Rather than list all the TAP we decided to put them all together with the first sighting for this trip only noted. To get an idea what you can see from the limited time we were here see the page for the TAP Fleet

A PAF F50 sneaked out in the dark, unreadable and didn't ping. Good job none are required.

After a few hours here we headed off to the Holiday Inn Express which would be home for the next couple of nights.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After LB had a good nights kip, the boy can't half snore, it was time for brekkie in the hotel. A sleep deprived Nay needed some coffee before heading out to pick off some more long hauls. See TAP Fleet

Time to move on and get some w&r. First stop a Military College for a Gina

We didn't go in to the Museo da Liga dos Combatentes at Belem as it was only a nose section. It can be seen from outside

Another difficult one to see from outside next. By finding some high ground over the road you can see it but no chance of a photo.

The next Gina was in the middle of a housing estate. Easy access to this one.

Now the real work started, Beja. The gate guards were easy enough but we could not see the preserved Alpha Jet from outside nor the GIA area. Any tips for the next visit most welcome. By stopping and starting, trying a few dirt tracks etc we got distant views of the storage area. Haze prevented anything being read but those listed are what we think the Casa 212s and T-33s are. Confirmation would be appreciated. As for the Alpha Jets, we counted up to nine from different points though it s possible there were less as it was never nine in one go. There were a couple of active P-3s outside but again unreadable. The small GA/helipad area was gated and looked empty.

It was dark when we got back to LIS so, after a quick look at the mil area for the T-38, it was time to go and get a KFC bucket each and sit up watching the proceedings whilst feeding our bellies.

The museum was closed (it only opens Mondays) but at least a few are outside. The museum storage area is still viewable on the field. The T-37s are still in situ as per GE with a PA-38 chucked in amongst them. The area on GE where the C337s are is now the extended car park. The C337s have moved and are viewable from the gate where the pole mounted T-37 is. There were two Alpha Jet front sections with them but no marks visible.

A bit of a delay for the flight home saw G-WUKC on the W94494 take 2.5 hours to get us home for around midnight.

Just one of note at the local, another G650 which will no doubt be as regular as its predecessor.

All in all a good little weekend away, we'll be back to finish Portugal at some point. Until next time.
