UK Road trip 23 - 26 November 2008  - Chris Ellington

I had to attend a 3 day course at my companies offices in Nottingham last week so thought I would have a bit of a road trip before, during and after the course. Setting off from Cleveland around 0845 on Sun 23rd my first call was Gamston which is such a short detour off the A1 it would be daft not to have a quick look.

Back onto the A1 and M11 I arrived at Stansted at 1315. I had a quick look in the usual biz/visitor parking areas before driving down the road parallel to the runway where I parked up and walked through the trees to see what would turn up. Star visitor was the Mali registered B707.

Last call of the day was to be Luton where I arrived after dark. Parking by the Britannia Social Club I visited all the usual vantage points and ended up with a pretty decent log. I thought I had made a 5N regd Gulf untill I realised it was long time resident 5N-AGV bearing a new reg.
