Man, that DC6 or 7 really shines! Like, really!
Somebody has upgraded their plane
Here are many of my random aviation pictures: https://www.instagram.com/malteholtken/
EGHA Compton Abbas this evening – the armstrong starter was a bit recalcitrant this evening, had to wait an hour for the air to cool and the engine decided to wake up. When handpropping advancing the throttle to take account for the warm engine is a tricky business. Flight back in the evening was silky smooth.
Cologne, from the air, with the schools P28 Archer, on the way to train approaches:
Also in the Archer, but a little lower, practicing missed approach:
Much higher, FL95, with the Beech the other day on my way from Augsburg back to Mönchengladbach:
And here an approach to the (in)famous new Berlin airport, Schoenefeld EDDB. No Prop visible, because it’s a Piper PA44 Seminole ;)
Manchester Barton yesterday, looking more like a desert airfield than an airfield near the wettest city in the UK…
Nice day out at the Museum of Science and Industry, with 6 buses an hour from just outside the airfield to Manchester, very easy to get into the centre of Manchester. Had a really nice brunch in the city centre, too, at a place called The Alchemist near the law courts.
