Fliegerfest Flugplatz Pattonville

ANFSCD; last Sunday we visited a small air show. No EVWs around, just a T3 Blue Star which belongs to a model aircraft pilot.

One could have a look at Christoph 51, a BK 117 rescue helicopter which is stationed there.

The emergency doc explains the details

Scramble!

The world's biggest single engine bi-plane, an Antonov An-2, an opportunity for a flip

Nice pics Roland! Did you wangle a flight? We stopped in at Strensham Services Northbound on the way home from Cornwall and as usual, followed the HGV signs and parked in there so we could go and check out the Air Ambulance stationed there. As it turned out, it was just an empty shed and heli pad as it scrambled as we arrived! Oh well....next time! :D

No, the waiting list was long and the flip was a bit expensive anyway.

Acquired a 'REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT' key fob instead of and furthermore had a nice chat with with the youth section of Feuerwehr Kornwestheim which had an info stand there, besides two fire engines (no VWs), if the worst comes to the worst.
