6th July 2021 - St Athan, Cardiff, Kemble & Brize Norton day trip.

 A run out to catch the two Air Mauritius A319s that had recently arrived at Kemble saw us visiting a few extra airfields along the way.

We left home just after 4am and made our way straight to St Athan to catch up with a few airliner frames before the axe man had his way with them. Twenty seven numbers were logged including a few inmates at the museum which I hadn't previously visited. Nothing was worth photographing due to positions or schemes, a lot of the stored airliners were lacking any colours!

We then moved on for a quick stop at Cardiff however on hearing that there was an Air Zena (Georgia) CRJ200 due in with a football team we decided to hang around for the arrival to grab some shots. 4L-TGB duly arrived just after 11am.



We headed on to Kemble, arriving there just after 1pm and managed some fairly decent shots of the Mauritian 319s 3B-NBF and 3B-NBH. 



Kemble added only nine numbers this time around but the above certainly made the visit worthwhile!

We headed home via a quick stop at Brize Norton where another nine military transports bolstered the numbers in the book making a total of forty seven for the day, not a bad haul!
