Poland 4 Day trip 7th - 10th Apr 09 Ade Hairsine Page 1 On to page 2
Here is the last
log of my recent travel's and brings me up to date with posting trips. This
trip was back to Eastern Europe and again to Poland, Poland is a gold mine
with lots of aircraft operational and a great deal of wrecks and relics all
around the country. We flew again Doncaster to Poznan with Wizzair, If you
have not flown Wizzair they are good with a better seat pitch than some on the
"other" low cost airlines.

We went to
Warsaw next to visit a few locations in that part of the country, Starting
with
Warsaw and its
traffic
As we got into
the city the traffic got quite bad and i slowed down to a crawl but later on
as we moved around Warsaw even in the rush hour it was not as bad as we
thought it might be, We drove from one side of the city to the other and back
in reasonable time so were we lucky or not ?.

Staffordshire Aviation Group for the first of two Army base tours in
Poland
Leznica
Wielka 08-04-09 Base Tour
A large open
field but with the disadvantage of been surrounded by trees which give,s a
limited view onto the field, We started at the gate with two preserved
aircraft that live there. The army gave us some para,s to inspect and they
explaned what each man carries wepons etc, We also got a tactical demo
with two para drops with W-3,s and a Trop drop down a line from about 40
feet from a Mi-8 all in all very good little show.
