Post by BOLLO » Sun Apr 08, 2018 12:29 pm

Decided to stop over at the Hall for most of the day as the Dash-8/RO-6A was my main objective.USN C 130T CNV 6033 was a nice catch using the full length via Alpha looked good from the gate but the GRZLY went from midfield via Delta,hey ho but I got him. :thumb: Here is a selection from the day,cheers for ya time looking. :thumb:

Start of the day BRK 60 in the climb out of the Heath.

Was one of those enjoyable days when everything goes right(well almost).I guess we always knew the Dash would go short,but for a minute we thought we'd got lucky.

Ya right Si but not seen any shots from Folly as there were only 2 chaps there and one was Mr Fenn so untill I see his video I think we made a good call.??
