A day out to catch up with a few movements at St. Athan and then on to other places for the other group members to see what they had missed on Cheltenham Gold Cup day a few weeks ago.
The first views were from the North, on the road leading from the South Wales Aviation Museum. GPS: 51°24’52.6″N 3°26’18.8″W
The second viewing was from the South, at the well-known location near the railway bridge. GPS: 51°23’55.8″N 3°25’54.4″W
The final point was at the fence along the road that goes past the Horizon Flight school. GPS: 51°24’10.4″N 3°25’56.5″W
As we were aware, the South Wales Aviation Museum was closed, however a few items were in the public car park and easily viewed. We have already visited the museum on a few occasions, well worth taking the time to visit.
