A visit to Blackpool yesterday gave me a change to visit the airport.  Very helpful and friendly and was able to wander around the hangars as described by Jake on his visit on 20 October.   ( Thanks again to Brian and Dave for the guidance in advance of the visit )  Here are just a couple of photos from the visit, taken with my mobile:

No one was able to offer any information on the two frames being restored.  Any ideas ?


Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy.

Looks like you had a good time Bill. Nice photos. Did you try the all day breakfast at Morrisons? Regards Beemer.

Yes, a very good and worthwhile visit.  However,  by the time I had walked around the Hangars I ran out of time to visit Morrisons.  Maybe next time

Hi all

Just a minor correction.  The EC135, G-KRNW, is no longer used by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.  They now have a new one, G-HIOW.  ( Thanks to ' Copters' user group for the information ).

FR24 followers will no doubt have observed it ( G-KRNW ) in the north west recently.
