12 SJ Eagles over 4 days at the 'Heath

Post by slogen51 » Fri Jun 14, 2019 10:04 pm

Twelve eagles in some pretty grim light and rubbish weather.

All the right numbers but not necessarily in the right order.

A slightly ignominious end of trip for Tabor 23 - it was quite dark when it was towed up runway 06. Then a change of tug and driver !! to tow it along taxiway sierra to parking.

All fixed and departed east as Tabor 21 2 days later

Cheers for the comments

The weather gradually improved as the week progressed - just looked at them on my phone - they are even darker than I expected!

Nothing wrong with them considering the conditions at some of the times,
Only two of any use to me so will enjoy looking at the pictures

Good to see the sunshine at the end - those last arrivals look lovely in the early evening light.
