19th January 2007 - photo's of based aircraft G-OFAS, G-TRAC & G-TOSH, plus visitor G-OHMS taking on fuel at the pumps.
G-OFAS is the 3rd aircraft from the original fleet of Findon Air Services, hence the registration OFAS. Having more than 6,000 hours & 2 rebuilds under it's belt it is still working hard every day on the FAST training fleet at Thruxton.
G-OHMS - Thruxton is a regular fuel stop & pilot tea break location for pipeline & power survey helicopters with the TAM Schweizers being the more regular visitors, sometimes night stopping & being hangared at Aeromaritime, the WPD Twin Squirrels come in weekly, but as far as I know never night stop.
24th January 2007 - with a light covering of snow the airfield is it's usual mid-winter chilly place, I have never known another spot be quite so predictably cold in winter, the wind just whips across the airfield & when it's coming from the north, nothing in it's path will escape a sub zero wind chill!
Needless to say very little ventured out of the warm hangars except G-SBUT back to Wellesbourne after it's renewed red & gold paint out of Edmondson [I missed it's departure by 20 minutes!], G-BXRS from Bembridge & back, plus G-TOSH doing a limited number of circuits.
31st January 2007 - the last day of the month saw Enstrom 480 G-ENHP (pictured below earlier in 2006) arrive for a day stop with the airfield owner- Henry Pelham. FAST training fleet not particularly busy. January appears to have been a fairly quiet month on the airfield.

Heliboy - your site is what prompted me to do this one for Thruxton!
