We are pleased to announce that Spring has finally arrived, and with it our apron is once again busy with visiting aircraft. Below is a selection of our recent visitors.

Juliet Tango to her friends. Unashamedly this is (was) one of our Welshpool based aircraft. Syndicate owned, this genteel lady is (was) much loved by those who fly her.
One of the benefits of having our own airspace is that passing aircraft will let you know in advance that they are passing through and, when asked, are often willing to do a brief fly through. That was the case with this Hercules, which graced us with its presence.

Another aircraft snapped by master photographer Brian Nicholas. The GY20 was built by Yves Gardan in post-war France. It went on to win a series of prizes including le Grand Prix Aérien de Vichy.

We were honored to see this Miles Whitney visiting us. Just 50 were built between 1936 and 1937, almost half of which were brought into military service during the second world war as communications aircraft. Just two are still registered in the UK.

Not a visitor as such, rather a newcomer to Welshpool. An amatuer build dating from 1991, we give this aeroplane a big warm welcome.
