Geneva (EBACE) - 20th May 2015

A day trip to Geneva, for the annual EBACE show, with John and Colin departing from Luton and meeting up with a few fellow spotters for the flight out on G-EZFF.

A rare full log for Luton, due to me scribing for our slack friend Phil, who made a shocking 53!

The flight out was fine until, with mere feet to go until touchdown, the pilot decided to abort. Our first go around ensued and 15 minutes later we finally landed.

We had decided to forego the rental car this year and started our 4 km walk round to the cafe via TAG and the Nissan garage. Finally reaching the cafe where we met up with fellow like minded friends. The next few hours were spent spotting with plenty of banter!

After the show had virtually finished we headed back round to view the static display through the fence at the rear of the hall. All but a few could be read from here.

Another EBACE in the bag it was time to head home on board G-EZAS, which was delayed around an hour. A few changes were noted at Luton, the Chinese Chally being a nice surprise.
