Tea and cake tour 2013?

Parked. On apron at Shoreham, off to pay my landing fee...

This picture does not do this cake justice, it was mighty fine

Sussex coast, after passing Worthing 



Odd name for a post? Well maybe, but it will make sense. Since late last year after reading about various airfields I could visit with my newly gained PPL, I began to notice that a common reputation amongst the UK's many fine airfields is the abundance of decent tea and cakes sold in aeroclub cafes. So what better excuse was there than to fly to these gastronomic delights, whilst at the same time logging flight hours and challenging myself by flying somewhere new each time. This first set of pictures are from my first point of call on my tour-Shoreham Airport. It is literally an 8 minute flight from Goodwood but I wanted to experience landing somewhere with full air traffic control facilities ( ATC) . Very good value tea and cake to be had there as the photograph illustrates!
