Berlin to Poland - 23rd - 29th March 2016 Day 6

The penultimate day started with coffee and Kilbasa before heading to the drome at Bydgoszcz. We had to pass the Tech School again and in the daylight could see the stored Mi-2.

At the drome the Aeroclub was, yep you guessed it, shut and gated. One AN-2 fuselage was outside. On the other side a park up and walk was in order to get a good look at the Sukhois.

The next stop was Myslecin, all shut up. Nothing seen. We were passing Poznan but had done this area last year so knew what was what. Not worth doing the Air Base on a weekend so it was decided a stop at Kobylnica would be the better option. This is a large drome so would surely have some activity. And it did. As we arrived an EV-97 was on the move but everything else was shut up. No other activity at all. A disappointingly small log from here.

We then tried to see the Lim-2 at Kiekrz. If it is still there it is well hidden. No joy.

Onward to a ULM field. Two hangars both shut. Squinnygraph came up trumps here.

Buk was next. As the house in question was having a family day with kids playing in the front garden we opted for views from the railway station. This is all we could id.

The ULM hangars were shut, one was squinnygraphed. The mobile phone comes into its own when you're too old to lay down on the ground! We could see the Pipistrel front on from the middle of the hangar doors. A sneaky graph from the corner of the door at the bottom caught the reg just right!

By the time we reached the hotel we again had time on our hands so decided to knock out the Szczecin area as the last day was a tight schedule. Heading first for the northernmost stop, a Mig-21.

The IAP is gated but you can still see a lot from landside. A dozen Dromaders made for some happy chappies indeed.

One more drome left in Poland on this trip. A French glider was sat outside the open hangar. Nobody about, tower empty. Luckily the glider chaps returned and were happy for us to enter the hangar and take a look around. Clear out!

So what was a frustrating Polish GA effort ended on a couple of highs. Just more reason to come back again as when there is somebody about they are always most welcoming.

Off to the hotel for some well earned grub.
