Goodwood-Newbury-Whitchurch-Goodwood
I wanted to gain permission and fly through a MATZ (Military Air Traffic Zone) at Odiham, very good opportunity to improve my amateur RT (Radio telephony) skills!
I flew at around 2000ft dodging the few and large rain/sleet/snow showers. My lookout was kept even more sharp as I passed near the gliding site at Lasham, gliders tend not to carry a transponder onboard so they do not show up on the traffic alert system on the Garmin 1000.
It was a nice, short little nav flight, just to see something different, fly a planned route,fill out a plog (small flight plan), fly through through a MATZ and speak to Farnborough Radar. A few of the pictures illustrate the climbout from Goodwood and the lying snow on the Downs. After this, I passed south west of Lasham Airfield, quite alot of Boeing 737s and the odd 727 airliners there-either in storage or there for maintenance. Also some shots of Greenham Common, outside Newbury, ex RAF/USAF airfield and really quite cool to see from the air. The runway is massive ( whats left of it, before the grass and weeds take over)
