Hullavington (EGVC) - 2011 MIL

Post by jreijmer »

Seen today in the hangar of 621 and 625 VGS were the following Viking TX.1:

ZE561/WJ,ZE557/WE,ZE604/XD,ZE613/XM,ZE679/YP were on the left in the hangar belonging to 621 VGS
ZE495/VA,ZE522/VL,ZE526/VN,ZE560/WH,ZE625/XP,ZE653/YE were in the right and belonged to 625 VGS

In the middle was Viking ZE606/XF of 622 VGS (Upavon) which was on loan. ZE679 was taken apart to be made ready for a transport to be overhauled.
No flying whatsoever as the weather was horrible with strong winds and loads of rain.

Next to the operational military stuff a lot of historic gliders were present with the 621 Vintage Glider Group:
Grasshopper TX.1 WZ828
Prefect TX.1 WE992
Cadet TX.3 XA310
Swallow TX.1 XS651

All of these are still regularly flown by students.

This is not really XS651 but BGA 1211 in false marks.
