Tatenhill and East Midlands 4 September 2023

Called in at a few places on my journey to Waddington for the Cobra Warrior exercise.

First stop was Tatenhill. This taildragger was the best of the bunch.

The Buccaneer is still on the far side of the airfield.

Then on to the Diseworth Road crash gate at East Midlands.

Next I parked at the Hungry Hangar cafe on the south side (thank you Airbus A346 for directions given in an earlier post). The cafe closes at 2pm so I couldn't get a brew. However I was pleased to get such a good view of this Saudi Herc through a gap between the freight containers.

And this 767 is a recent arrival from Guangzhou where it was converted to a freighter.
