A quick dash down South Thursday 4th November 2010 - Ade Hairsine
Hi All
A little late posting this one due to work etc etc, We decided we had better get
our selves down to Kemble before an ex military Dash-8 in the scrap yard there
was totally gone so an early morning departure from York a week last Thursday
saw us call at EMA as per usual on the way South

Birmingham that i have driven past a few times but not had the chance to get to
till now
Birmingham Think Tank Museum 04-11-2010
A modern museum with the two aircraft we wanted hanging from the roof inside,
They are easy to see with the security lights 24/7 i would think

Two in the bag, Next as we were so close Birmingham airport, Noted on a 10 min
stop
