London City airport visit 10/10/23

[John Jones]

A visit was overdue to LCY to check out its new parallel taxiway, which extends from the end of the former apron area and runs past the area for the provision of up to eight new aircraft parking stands and then connects with and newly expanded Eastern holding area.

Very Interesting. Its a long way in every sense of the word from that first Dash 7 landing on a prepared strip in the docks, June 1982,

In my own case I can claim claim only one use. LCY to Berlin Tempelhop, and return, Bae 146 ( I am guessing about 1993. ??)
