Folland Gnat from Shortfinals's Blog
[photo: shortfinal's blog]
Kemble Airfield has many interesting residents. The local aviation company, Delta Jets, is better known for it's fleet of Hawker Hunters, but it also owns this Folland Gnat T.1, XP502. Currently, the Gnat is located on the old airfield 'signal square' , a relic of the early days of flying, when a pilot would join the circuit overhead, and look down at the square, to see which runway was in use (shown by means of black 'dumbell' markers) and even confirm WHERE he was (the two-letter code for Kemble, KM, is still there). XP502 is in spurious 'Red Arrows' markings, to commemorate the fact that Kemble was the home of the 'Reds' for nearly 15 years, ...

The Shuttle's long journey back from Edwards from FlyerTalk Forums by SAT Lawyer
I had no idea just how taxing the Shuttle's return journey from Edwards Air Force Base back to the Kennedy Space Center was until I read about its tech stop in San Antonio (Lackland Air Force Base) today. I had always assumed that the flight from California to Florida would be a non-stop. It is anything but. NASA has an excellent blog (with pictures) chronicling the journey.
Yesterday, the 747 carrying the Shuttle piggyback flew from Edwards to El Paso (Biggs Army Airfield). Today it resumed its journey by flying from El Paso to San Antonio. Amazing that it takes two stops to transit Texas, no? After stopping at Lackland for a few hours -- here is some video of the takeoff from Lackland today -- it's now on its way to Columbus Air Force base in Mississippi. Flight Aware is tracking its journey across the country: NASA 911.
