Quick visit to Bournemouth last week
These were from the new viewing area, a strip of grass next to the runway with a few picnic tables, but better than nothing
These were taken from round the other side of the runway
N90GV
N265MS
N924RM - Nice hand drawn registration! Ex G-LGTH
Some of the old EAL fleet along with 146 N907DL with the red tail
B737's G-FIGP & G-GPFI
SX-RFA
It was at this point I was asked to leave by security but not before I managed to photograph the star of my visit
I could have spent hours here. There was something great round every corner. Loads of old RAF stuff as well Vampires, Venoms, etc. There is also a mueseum just outside the airport that used to be at the airport, but I didn't get chance to visit on this occasion.
Highly recommended if you are in the area, just watch out for the Chubb Security vans!

- mighty fine balancing act if you didn't 
You've also answered a age long question I had. Having watched a video on youtube of the CL44 in the US, I often wondered if it made it to the UK for preservation. It obviously made it but not quite in a museum yet. I maybe wrong here but I seem to recall seeing a photo of it at LJLA as the hangars were being built. If its the same one, would the Jetstream club take it on or have they got enough on their hands already?
