As a reminder, I have already posted all the museum and preserved reports on the forum and as promised, now it’s the turn of reporting on the airport and airfield visits that we did along our way
to our final destination, the Australian International Air Show at Avalon Melbourne.

If you prefer, you can also view them at the Oxford Aviation Group Blog at https://www.oxfordaviationgroup.co.uk/ Here you can also see previous reports from trips that Grant had organised as well
as his future plans.

As you could see from the museum reports, Grant had been in prior contact with the relevant public relations department and obtained behind the scenes access. This would be the same with the larger
GA airfields that we were to visited. In view of the size of some of the airfields, that was a very successful plan.

With twelve of us starting the tour on the West coast at Perth and with us living in many corners of the UK, at least six of us had decided to arrange our own international flights and routes, in my case hoping to avoid Heathrow. My initial flights were booked to Perth with Lufthansa, but on the day before my flight, I received texts and emails advising me that my LH flights were cancelled. I subsequently
found out it was due to industrial action. They were very good in that my new flights were re-arranged automatically, so no stress for this once in a lifetime trip. My new flights would be
Manchester-LHR-Singapore, then on to pick up the same route, Singapore to Perth.

In view of the length of the flight and stories of serious jet-lag, I decided to upgrade, that was a great decision. The Singapore Airlines A350 to Changi was a fantastic service and seemed to be much more
comfortable in comparison to the onward Singapore Airlines B787 to Perth. It may all be in the mind, but in the end I was reasonably refreshed and ready to get on with the tour.

So below are a few small logs as I transited through LHR and Changi on my way to Perth.

One REQUEST: At Changi there seemed to be a couple of stored aircraft, in the dusk one appeared to be a B757, all white and no engines, plus one other behind it.
I was not on a window seat, so it is difficult to clarify any further.

No photographs along the way, however you can see my Australia photo album at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jlt_egcc74/collections/72157721663725779/

Kind regards

John
