A dull day at Cardiff Airport

It was a dull day but a few hours to spare so a last minute visit to the Cambrian Café Bar, Cardiff Airport.

Unexpectedly bumped in to Phil Woods & Mark Pearce so it was nice to catch-up.

Unfortunately there was no visitors in exception to the UK Search & Rescue AgustaWestland AW139 which performed a go-round.

Afternoon spent at the Cambrian Café Bar, Cardiff Airport with AutoAvia

A planned afternoon spent at the Cambrian Café Bar, Cardiff Airport with AutoAvia for a catch-up and some photography.

The weather didn't look too bad however there was a chilly wind making sitting on the balcony a no go.


It was a quiet day in all however a unexpected visit of a Thomas Cook Airlines Airbus A321, Royal Air Force Globemaster C.1 and the Army Air Corps Islander CC.2 performing enginer runs kept us on our toes. 

DragonFly Aviation Services Beech 200 Super King Air had also been active performing some local training.

Just a flying visit to Cardiff Airport

No plan to head to Cardiff Airport today but while driving home I thought drive past it.

It was a good job I did as there was a Embraer Legacy 500 business jet performing some training.

A dull day but with some surprises

Waking up this morning decided to head to the Cambrian Café Bar, Cardiff Airport despite it being a damp and miserable day.

In one day managed to witness the last ever flight of a British Airways Boeing 767-300 before being scrapped and a single Red Arrow Hawk T.1 heading back to base.
