Portencross

After the hurly burly of the jets at Prestwick I decided to take the long way home via the coast road.

Opted to pop down to Portencross as I hadn't been in many a year.

It hasn't changed of course and the sun kindly shone for my walk around the area.

Here are a few images that I hope show the charm of this little gem of a place.

A Few Hours at Prestwick Airfield

Hearing that the Refuelling Tanker and the two Hornets would depart today I headed down to Prestwick.

After a short delay the aircraft fired up and taxied down for take-off.

Nice to see the Hornets pick up speed and take off in a lively fashion and hope my images do justice.
