Here are my holiday snaps, from the Isle of Man via Gatwick to Italy and back. The Italian pics will be posted on a different thread soon. Gatwick is not the easiest or camera friendliest airport, but my Easyjet window seat, and the Premier Inn provided a few opportunities.
On the way down from the IOM it was 15th September, "Battle of Britain" day, so I was determined to relive some 'RAF At Home Days' gone by;
G-UZHR, to LGW, IOM, 15 Sept 19 (5) w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
G-UHZR, our transport down to Gatwick
Severn Bridges, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
When we broke free of the weather front the Severn Estuary and Bridges were visible
Little Rissington, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
This one took a bit of head scratching, but I think it is Little Rissington in the Cotswolds
Brize Norton, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 (2) w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
Brize Norton, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 (5) w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
Followed soon after by Brize Norton, and I thought "Fairford must be visible", and it was;
Fairford, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
And just to the left of Fairford, and slightly above, the remains of Down Ampney airfield are visible
Greenham Common, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
And then Greenham Common came by, more of it left than I thought
Harwell, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
Obviously an ex-airfield, I think it is the Atomic Energy site at Harwell
Odiham, from G-UZHR, IOM to LGW, 15 Sept 19 w by Philip Pain, on Flickr
No mistaking Odiham!
