VH-KDK Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I bit the bullet last night, brought and installed TEGBC. Went like a dream so here is my first flight. 1. Departing from EGNJ Humberside formerly known as Kirmington. 2. Following the A15 to Barton-on -Humber 3. A great improvement on the old paddle ferry that I went on in 1970! When the Humber Bridge opened in 1981 it was the worlds longest suspension bridge. 4. Hessle is on the right of the bridge. The bridge had the highest toll of any bridge in the UK but the government wrote off the outstanding debts and the toll was halved to £1.50. 5. I am sure the missus told me to go to Hull last night, well here it is. With a population of just over 250,000 it is unique in having it's own telephone system, hence the cream and green telephone boxes rather than the usual red ones. 6. Outside of London, Hull was the most bomb damaged city in WW2 with some 95% of its structures sustaining some degree of damage. Still quite a busy port although the fishing industryhas declined since the 1970s. Ro-ro ferry services to Europe carry over 1 million passenger annually. 7. Not far along the Humber, on the Lincolnshire side is the Port of Immingham. 8. As well as the oil refineries there are many chemical based industries here. 9. The docks at Grimsby which like Hull was once a thriving fishing port. I hope you have enjoyed the flight along this part of the Humber Estury. To be concluded.
