Sadly i did not have time for this when I got back home yesterday evening so a double dose today. A full list of what was present 23/7/55. Looks like another joint USAF/RAF parachute exercise was in progress with C-119, and Hastings, what a sight that must have been! Also a couple of Israeli Noratlas visiting Eagles for radio work

Lack of quantity of logs from this day in history. The Sabre is interesting. It had been w/o the previous year so may have been on it's way to a scrapyard? Road borne arrivals happened occasionally, being on a main road they would often night stop here as it was secure. The A30 was also a regular route for Fairey/westland helicopters from the factory in Hayes to flight test at Yeovil, but that was more in the 60's. 24/07/1956 G-ALDJ HP Hermes HP.81/11 Britavia trooping flight from Singapore Malta 08:50

Just released instead of posing the 22/23 I posted 23/24. So out of sync here is 22/7! I blame it on my current social media book selling blitz after finding all the local book shops have gone. Heading this list is a rare sighting from 1947 in the shape of Silver City's Lancastrian HBW. This was built as a new Lancastrian for BSAA but not delivered, Silver City snapped it up to operate long distance flight for mining companies to Australia and South Africa. Hopelessly uneconomic it was all that was available for long range flights. HBW was sold to Australia in January 48 one the mining flights stopped.

Ok we are back in sync now. Not a great deal of note today but the American International DC-4 sticks out. We often forget that foreign airlines also used Blackbushe. The likes of Indian Airlines, Belgian International, Meteor Air Transport and General Airways all used Blackbushe on freight charters in the 1950's, mostly with DC-4's. Mind you a Grumman Avenger in the circuit was probably thought as as dull by spotters of the time.

Hope the weather in the 50's was better than today?? We have the treat of full logs from both 58 and 59. We can see that in the 59 log that Britavia had moved on and the amount of Vikings had started to decrease with DC-'s and Viscounts in evidence. By this time eagle were operating many schedules from LHR.

A few things of interest today. the Belgian Stirlings are a bit of enigma. They definitely flew regularly from Blackbushe in 1947/48 and probably on emigrant flights to Israel and Australia but evidence is difficult to find. Ten years later there was a trio of daks from the newly reformed Luftwaffe, unimaginable in 1948! 27/07/1948 OO-XAE Short Stirling Air Transport delivery to Egyptian Air Force

<27/07/1957 G-ANCI DH Heron 14043 Dan-Air>...I had a school (geography) one hour flight, from/to Gatwick, in NCI c1964/5 when it was owned by 'South Coast Airways'. It poured with rain throughout the flight but enjoyable very low level flying! Happy days.

b170 I still wonder where they put all those aircraft bob carter Of the 36 I would say 18 were south of the A30, or in Airwork, the Luftwaffe Daks on the apron, Independent and Dan Air probably parked on 01 stub, of course there would have been more USN aircraft there!

Today is a grey as a squadron of Eurofighters s to brighten things up back to the era when the sun always shined... A nice Bristol 170 delivery to Pakistan. Today saw some photos online of the 170's that is coming back from NZ. didn't look bad considering how long it had been in store, will be a very welcome aircraft back in the UK. Maybe we can have a forum day out to Filton when it goes on show??? marathon list tomorrow with full logs from 55 and 58.
