VH-KDK Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Not the best of days to be flying. 1. Not the original RG333, which crashed in Germany in August 1945. This one is really G-AIEK painted with invasion stripes. 2. Up and away from Damyn's Hall 3. At Tilbury Container Port. 4. The BP refinery and terminal at Canvey Island. 5. The World's longest pier at Southend. 6. On approach to Southend flying into 40-45kts progress is very slow and turbulent. 7. The industrial estate at Rochford. 8. Hanging in the air at about 20kts. 9. Down, stopped and now being blown backwards. 10. Onto the apron with brakes on but the plane is still being blown back. The original Messenger RG333 was Field Marshal Montgomery's personal transport until it's accident. Monty suffered a couple of cracked vertebrae in the crash. The strong wind is from the storm named Doris which is causing disruption in the UK at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
