Decided a trip to the Isle of Wight and Bembridge with it’s hard runway seemed ideal. It was quiet but a couple of aircraft had made the trip and the Propeller Inn was open for a nice lunch, well a nice burger lunch. Walked back across the runway and met a chap with a lovely aeroplane that looked rather like a Stearman but wasn’t. The old Britten Norman factory is looking a little forlorn giving the field a slight air of sadness compared to my last visit 40 years ago.
