Nice images, Chris.
The Caravan, which shows US registration numbers, is still legally
registered to a corporation in Wilmington, Delaware. The state of
Delaware is the Limited Liability Corp. capital of the USA, and has many
airplanes registered there, including some that are based at our local
airport.

Once a week I go flying, normally on a Friday when there is no teaching for me at the Centre
of Aviation Medicine. Today was a gorgeous day, albeit a little breezy (and strengthening),
and I would have gone flying. But the blasted RIV (Rescue Intervention Vehicle – fire
engine) was u/s so we had no crash cover, as it’s called. That meant no flying :-(
So I did some admin at someone else’s desk and headed home through the rather
lovely counties of Rutland and Leicestershire and took a couple of photos. I started
with a shot of several aircraft not flying at my base, Wittering, but the found a
grounded Caravan at a para club to the southeast (Sibson), before heading down a
straight, country road with the old-style signpost. At the almost-disappeared RAF
Polebrook I found an old memorial to the 351st Bombardier Squadron, 8th AF and stopped
for a moment to say a prayer for the boys . . .
Only 4 photos, but it made for a more enjoyable journey home than driving
helter-skelter down the motorway.
