Geneva (EBACE) - 26th May 2016

Time for the yearly trip to Geneva for John and Colin. This has become a standard one day trip over the last few years. Nothing to trouble the log at Luton. Our flight out was EZY2051 performed by G-EZAY.

A nice leisurely walk around to the bistro for a few beers and to catch up with some friends. Good to see Mr Cook make the trip over from the US.

+ another Bo105 we read as HU.15-75 which is wrong.

Stuck in a bit of rush hour traffic in Madrid we passed a couple of bits of preserved aircraft. Daz even woke up to have a look.

On to Colmenar next and a slow drive by the gate so Bully could see the gate guards. I don't remember there being some sort of netting on the fence but you can still see those preserved. One new addition since our last visit in 2013 was an Alouette III. Thanks to Enrique Cortes for solving that mystery. Right, off to the nature park for a walk.

Time for a drome Darren had been looking forward to. Two of us had done it in 2013 not knowing what to expect...a lot of individual lock ups and a few larger hangars were most welcoming!

After the Bulldog charm got us permission to have a wander round we set off.

Time to drop off the car and see what was about at Barajas. Once airside it is easier to read the biz as you get herded off on arrival. Alas, three of us have Luton as our local so not a great deal of interest there for us.

Time to wave goodbye to Darren, I think he shed a tear, as G-EZIT was waiting on the EZY2204 to take us back to Blighty. Darren was on the RYR half an hour or so later.

After an uneventful flight home we just caught the Chinese Gulfie before it departed.

So endeth another successful trip. Plenty of good natured banter, a beer or two, and of course a good mix of aircraft seen. Thanks to Andy for the driving the small matter of some 2500kms!

Madrid to Toulouse - 20th - 23rd May 2016 Day 3

After filling our bellies with the Ibis brekkie we headed off to do a circuit of the Airbus facility. The weather was a tad gloomy and black clouds on the horizon didn't bode well.

Thankfully the rain held off for our circuit of TLS.

Muret had a little activity, mostly clearing up after show that was here the day before. However as we reached the first open hangar the heavens opened. A tactical retreat was in order. Back in the car we voted to move on as most of the hangars were closed anyway.

The next stop was Sanguesa but the runway was overgrown and it seems there has not been any activity here for some time. The lone hangar had only trucks inside.

As the sunlight was fading fast, we headed for one more stop for Bulldog. The Las Bardenas Reales. We had visited here last year and nothing seems to have changed.

That was our last stop, from here we headed for Madrid. Trying to get as close as possible before crashing for the night. On route we found a quiet restaurant, Restaurante Maleos. We ordered Steak and chips all round with a helping of beer and complimentary Whiskey and Pate. Very nice indeed!

We finally found a hotel only a few miles from Torrejon, perfect for an early start in the morning.
