Goodwood Aerodrome #1

Two days ago I visited Goodwood Aerodrome [ICAO code: EGHR] - mostly to have a brief look, although we had a bite to eat at the Goodwood Aerodrome cafe also.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but as it turns out, quite a number of vintage/ historic aircraft, as well as the "normal" trainers - in fact, microlights to warbirds as well as helicopters.

The following series of posts will show a few of the aircraft visible from the cafe. It's by no means complete...!

Top to bottom we have:

View of the "historic" flightline - loads of taildraggers in there...
Piper PA22-150 Tri Pacer, G-AWLI
Piper PA17 Vagabond, G-ALEH
Piper PA28-161, OY-PHK - and a reminder that in Europe, aircraft can easily cross national boundaries!
Thruster T-600N 450, G-CBKG
Unknown type, G-CEKC
Scottish Aviation Bulldog 101, G-RNRS
Extra EA300L, G-IIDI
Both of these last two are available for aerobatic trial flights :-)

Europe Trip #7: RAF Museum Hendon - 2 - Single piston/ radial/ rotary engines

I've given a fair bit of through how to arrange these photos. By manufacturer? Type? Age? War? In the end, I'm going to group them pretty much as I came across them in the museum, except that I'll tend to put them in roughly into groups of single pistons, jets etc.

Please excuse the quality of the photos in this section. I'm shooting with a Canon EOS 450D [which is an awesome camera], but the lighting is designed for people to walk in and see more than to take photos! Using the flash doesn't often seem to work well either, but I'm sure you will agree, it's good to see these machines anyway!

This post contains some of the single engined piston aircraft I saw in the first couple of hangers. Top to bottom are:

Supermarine Spitfire F24 [x 2 pictures]
Hawker Typhoon 1B
Bristol Bulldog
Hawker Hart Trainer
Hawker Tempest II
Curtis Kittyhawk III
