Air To Air With Spirit Of Safety II
Unlike Spirit Of Safety I, for sister ship Spirit Of Safety II the weather was a lot kinder and allowed some extensive flying on Monday 11th April.
During a very short window of time I was lucky to get airbourne to do a few air to air shots on what turned out to be G-TLELs last vip flight from Halfpenny Green before moving on.
A very big thank you to Steve for getting me airbourne and to the pilot of G-TLEL that allowed us to fly alongside and make the following images possible.

Goodyear Lightship - Spirit Of Safety I
Making a welcome return to Halfpenny Green is a Lightship A60+ in the shape of the Goodyear liveried G-HLEL.
Once home to part of the Lightship Co, A60+ Blimps were a regular site at Halfpenny Green in many different advertising schemes but G-HLEL is the first to return for a number of years.
Constructed in 1995 and previously registered N610LG, Spirit Of Safety I only took up its UK registration on 15/3/2011 before emerging from the iconic Cardington Hangars a few days later.
Unfortunately during its stay at Halfpenny Green the weather precluded most of its flights but hopefully sister ship Spirit Of Safety II will also visit and lets hope the weather is a lot kinder.

Halfpenny Green Fotopic Site Is Gone - Halfpenny Green Airfield Blog Is Go ..........
After a few weeks of uncertainty a statement has finally emerged confirming that fotopic has gone, along with thousands of online photographs including the popular Halfpenny Green galleries.
With the demise of the fotopic site, I have decided to launch this blog to replace it in part. Unfortunately due to the amount of time it would take to replace all the historic images I simply intend to start again from April 2011.
I hope you enjoy this unofficial view of Halfpenny Green.
