Billund airport is BLL. Next to the Lego factory, must be a lego plane then....
May explain the no movement, but not how it's staying up there.Possibly, but tethered to what/
Today I went to the "Wings and Wheels" show on the site of Woodford aerodrome. What I hadn't realised is the Avro museum is there and it was a great find, really well laid out and informative. Several large models of various Avro planes, especially early ones. Hard to believe that it's only a little over a hundred years ago that pilots were flying what looked like cloth stretched over wood, held together by wire! Apparently 4000 Lancaster bombers (out of 7000) were put together there. The Vulcan bomber is special too. Really interesting museum, it's open regularly, with guest speakers etc.
There's a Vulcan at the Coventry airport museum, and according to their website they let people climb into the aircraft to explore, albeit supervised. Think I'll pay them a visit in the next week or so.
The Vulcan flew only 7 years after WWII
Had to go down to Lydd airport (sorry, London Ashford) where my Dad keeps his Socata TB20 hangered to attend to some business.
I checked in with the flying club who manage the plane on Dad's behalf, and then got to go walk around the storage and maintenance hangers. Too many photos for now, but here's one to keep you going. I'll post the rest when I eventually get home.
PS, I've just googled the flag. Burkina Faso.
Both still there, at the same altitudes. No movement.
