No more photos of aircraft behind hanger!!!???

Due to reasons not given!? (except there are golfers hitting balls on the practice fairway)??
access to the Filton golf club non members has bee withdrawn.
Strange but the golfers have always been there and no problems have happened.
This country is defiantly going to the dogs, there is now less access
for hobbyist of all types then when I was a kid!!!!!

With this TB-20 F-GHZO visiting on apron 1.



Relax 100F


Thursday 23-10-08

This call sign was used by B-737 OM-NGH of Sky Europe.

It arrived 30 minutes late at 17.42 just as the weather

got really bad. Heavy rain and wind made it impossible

to take any photos.

To really upset the evening, a major crash closed the M5 in both directions

and other minor accidents on other roads meant my

journey home took 45 minutes instead 0f 10 / 12 minutes.

Absolutely lovely???!!

13-10-08 was not unlucky

Down at Baltic Wharf on the western end of Bristol Docks
fresh water and coarse fish can be caught.
This is a Mullet of around a pound.
It was caught as I pulled my pole back and it took 2x white maggots.


Also on 2x white magots was this mixed bag of
of Roach, Perch and Skimmer Bream.

This photo is of Baltic Wharf looking towards Bristol City centre.
