We are relatively free again so in the car to paradise we go ! The first disaster encountered was the mound had been turned into a plateau and even worse blocked off. What happened? Never will we have a better spot .
arrived at crash gate 1 area 13:55. First thing I saw was a blue vw suv half blocking emergency access 
They were a family of casual visitors who in better times might have been in Benidorm perhaps ! We need to talk quietly to these trippers if they will listen, before they ruin it for us ! 14:20 (3) up. Heard the Reds locally, apparently at Symington said the Anorks parked sensibily ! 14:45 another (3) up. 15:55 Wolf 315 taxi to the Polypipe apron. 17:15 (4) operation squadroners up. 21:00 (4) more operational ships up. Met some good lads from Nottingham. One camper van from Middlesbrough and a drop driver, off duty with his son from Alfreton. Many more came and went parking at the road side. Asked like many times before about a scanner. I have mine on a mag mount speaker. As told many a newbie to his scanner before "you must understand how their scanner storage configuration works before starting to plink and plonk ". And you generally only need to scan about a 10 frequencies when at a military airfield to get a feel for the operation of the field. Worst disaster of the day was waiting till 20:30 to go to Chipmonk's fish and chip shop. They close at 20:30 now. No chips or fish left 
had to make do with a stake and kidney with large beans. Could have been worse, with nothing though ! I feel much better after another Jet 1 fix however !Cheers all, perhaps I will meet some of you readers on another visit ?*
Nice one, had a few chuckles there. Benidorm > Anorks > Polypipe apron > the plink and plonk and pie with large beans ...
