Been a long time since I saw a SAAB 2000 at BHX


     Back on local turf again today and hearing that a once regular aircraft seen at BHX would be operating to date in the shape of SAAB 2000 OY-FSB what better place to take my lunch break than at the airport.

     Todays work took me further afield than normal as down to the south west to the Bristol area, so I thought I would call past and see what Bristol Airport had to offer. A quick drive past from Winters lane and 15 mins on Felton Common Produce the following.

As always the case with my brain not always work, I forgot to check to see if the Jet Provost  XN551 was still lying in the field off West Lane just to the east of the airport off the A38.

The following noted 1245-1300
