Eventually getting around to inputting the last two trips, the first was on Friday, primarily to visit Cheltenham for the helicopter Charity walk.
At the same time we took the opportunity to see some military at Fairford and a few new items at Cotswold~Glos (Kemble) before making our way back home via Gloucester Staverton, Birmingham and East Midlands.
Photograph links for each airfield below.
