Southend Airport Photos

What a sight

Taken approaching the overhead from the south.

PART 2 - more bits of AGUSTA BELL 206B appropriately by a bin. That gearbox was thrown completely clear of the rest of the hulk, it weighs in excess of 60kg!

PART 1 - This was once a perfectly servicable AGUSTA BELL 206B - only twisted metal, luckily 4 stitches and a large insurance claim remain.

Curly Propeller - folded nosewheel - a valid reason why you should never ever push the stick forward on landing!

Southend is a tidy airport, easy to find with a friendly service. I visted on 01/08/05 on a long XC from Sherburn. Booking in was no problem, tower was friendly and informative. Good facilities with ample runway and was allowed to park in front of the terminal! £20 landing fee is a little more than Im used to paying and fuel took some time to arrive however it as late in the evening. Approach was helpful on both inbound and out bound legs. Would definately go again.

Sherburn Aero Club Robin R2160 a long way from home.

Another similar shot wings level showing the North/South divide!

Seeing the world from a different angle, notice how the snow ends north of the Blackwater, also the large snow storm in our 11 O'clock.

Southend climbout from runway 06. Amazingly the field itself had a large dump of snow but almost all the surrounding areas were green? Taken from AA5

looking back on climb out south end town in the background I believe

Looking from the cafe not a warm day +1 outside air with snow showers

Wind 300/22. This photo shows the very crabbed approach required to compensate for the crosswind. Aircraft is Grumman AA5.
