No Pies for Papa 18th - 22nd September 2015 Day 2

Day 2, and it was an early rise and cab to the airport to collect our trusty steed for the trip. Naturally it was a Skoda, what else in this region?
Once we settled in the car, and the sat-nav found itself, we headed off for a quick circuit of BTS. Although we didn't see the stored Mi-8s this time as we had a busy schedule and had to get going.

Next up the first tin field of the trip, and ironically the first thing we saw was a British Cessna! The place was all locked up, but several hangars had easy to see through mesh doors. We looked around for someone but it was deserted. Until an old lady appeared and waved us back. Unfortunately she didn't speak English and our Slovak was non-existant, but we got the gist and moved on though she did let us snap those outside.

OM-JUF Fascination?

The next stop was Velke, for a MiG-15 (3914), but this had moved on recently. Still we'd catch up with it at Nitra.

Zobor was next on the list, and our first MiG of the trip. This was preserved within a military compound, so it was a quick read off and move on.

Nitra was a nice little surprise for us, we knew about the preserved aircraft. However the compound full of Cmelak's was a surprise for sure.

Moving on was to be one of the main reasons for this trip, Piestany museum. Unfortunately as we'd already found out a few weeks earlier is was closed until the end of September. But we had some hopes of seeing some of the aircraft.

We managed to read a few, but decided on not wasting too much time as there was still lots to do. Piestany will be revisited sooner rather than later for sure!

One or two flyers were also around, and the small aero club hangar was open.

Vyskov soon became the highlight of the trip for some, especially Darren as he is an IL-28 fan! Better than Brighton I suppose! Impressive lines of MiG's, Sukhoi's and Mil Mi's soon put the disappointment of Piestany behind us.

After a long day, the hotel beckoned, as did the thoughts of a cold beer. After checking in we headed off to find some food and beer. We came across the Zelena Kocka (Green Cat) resturant/bar.

An English speaking guy at the bar named Libor, helped us with the ordering and recommended the ribs! Darren will testify to their quality I'm sure, me and JC went for a steak. The food was excellent and I would highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Brno.

The details for the restaurant are below. A fine meal and a good five or six beers later, plus a few whiskies courtesy of Libor. We called it a night. The bill for all this fine food and beer for the three of us was around 1500 Koruna, so around £36!

No Pies for Papa 18th - 22nd September 2015 Day 1

A four day trip for Colin, John and Darren to mid Europe. Spanning four countries in four days. We headed out from Luton around midday and winged our way over to Stansted via a few small dromes. From here we flew with Ryanair on EI-EKG to Bratislava, Slovakia on the evening flight.

First stop of course was the standard nip round the local!

We were parking in Takeley on someones driveway! At a very reasonable £28 for five days. So a quick look into the farm for some Rotorway action. Sadly it was all closed up but a few were gleaned from the windows etc...

The park on my drive guy kindly gave us a lift to the terminal, where an overpriced Burger King was on the menu.
Only a few noted at Stanny, with a couple of nice Government liners.

FR2318 took us to BTS, arriving just after 11pm. Unfortunately all the car hire firms were shut down by then. So it was a cab driven by Slovakia's answer to Grant Mitchell to the hotel for the night.

Not the busiest of airports, we noted a few, but as we had to return in the morning for our car we agreed to explore further then.

Not an overly great day, but it was all about getting in position for a full first day in Slovakia.

Le Bourget - 15th June 2015

A short trip over to Paris for the show. Colin and John had a couple of days at CDG and a pre-show visit to LBG which are not listed here. It was good to catch up with a few familiar faces, and some new ones, over the weekend with some good natured banter.

We then met up with Darren, and his better half, on Monday for the show. No museum inmates are included this time.
