Plane crazy...

Planes, I like planes. Not in a fanatical, anorak kind of way but I do like them. They're big, with big engines, and make lots of noise. My kind of engineering! So, with little else of importance to do, Lynda and I took ourselves off to East Midlands Areopark today.

First we spent a while walking around the exhibits on the ground before settling down, with a picnic lunch, on one of the picnic tables that overlook the runway at East Midlands Airport. As I said earlier, I'm not a plane spotter so just enjoy the photos for what they are as I have very little information to give!
