Battle of Britain - Mock Luftwaffe Airfield Attack on RAF Lashenden
Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary Headcorn Airshow at Headcorn Aerodrome prev. RAF Lashenden, Kent, UK. This was a brilliant re-enactment of an airfield attack during the Battle of Britain in 1940. The air raid sirens went off and the Messerschmidtts in this recording literally came out of nowhere, they were not at Lashenden at any other point during the day. Recorded 11/7/15

VFR return flight from Duxford to Headcorn - Cessna 172 (G-ATWJ) full ATC
So after a great day of exploring the Imperial War Museum at Duxford we had run out of time and needed to get the Cessna 172 back to Headcorn. Also, the low cloud that we left behind in the south east when we departed earlier in the day seemed to have caught up with us and wanted to time our flight to make sure we wouldn't get caught out.
When we arrived at our parking stand, to my surprise parked next to me was one of the other aircraft I fly from Headcorn, the PA28 G-SEXX. They too were about to depart back to Headcorn but knew they would make it back to base well before me as the PA28 is a lot faster than the much older and slower Cessna 172.
For our flight back home, I plotted a different and slightly longer route. I didn't want to bother Stansted again with another Class D zone transit request but wanted to route down the narrow corridor that runs between both Stansted and Luton. The end of the corridor would bring me out in the north London area where there are some great views of the London skyline including Canary Wharf and the O2 arena.
Although less intense on the radio than my flight earlier in the day, there were some narrow areas of airspace to navigate with the worst being the small gap between the London City CTA and Stapleford ATZ.
After a short delay due to inbound traffic, we departed Duxford on runway 24 left making a left hand turn leaving the circuit on the crosswind leg towards the south. On leaving the Duxford ATZ we changed frequency to Farnborough LARS north and as we passed over the Barkway VOR we requested a Basic Service.
For the majority of the flight we cruised at around 2,200 feet and as on the flight up to Duxford, my wife was a great help with programming radio frequencies and setting transponder squawk codes.
As we reached the Brookmans Park VOR heading towards Banbury Reservoir we could clearly see the London city skyline and as we got closer to the River Thames we were asked to re-contact Farnborough Radar on their LARS east frequency.
We crossed over the Thames just to the east of the QEII bridge which gave us some great views of the crossing and the river.
We continued south east and on reaching my home town of Maidstone we requested a frequency change to the Air/Ground service at Headcorn and start preparing for our approach and arrival.
Runway 28 was still the active in use with a left hand circuit. Due to parachuting activities and noise abatement procedures we joined tight on the crosswind leg to avoid overflying Headcorn village and flew a standard circuit touching down on the grass on runway 28.
We then taxied back to our parking stand on the front row of the GA area to see that the PA28 G-SEXX had arrived back long before us and they even had time to completely shut down and put the engine cover back on before we even joined the circuit.
On our way back into the office to complete the paperwork, we had some time to reflect on a fascinating trip to Duxford and a great day of flying. As with a number of recent trips, I can't wait until I can visit again.

VFR to Duxford with my Wife | Stansted Class D zone transit (Cessna 172 G-ATWJ) Full ATC
Since gaining my pilots licence one of the airfields on my list to visit was Duxford to visit the Imperial War Museum and it has taken me just over 4 years to actually make the trip. It hasn't been for the want of trying, over the last 4 years I have attempted the trip 4 times with either the weather or technical issues with the aircraft (including a frozen shut door and a faulty altimeter) cancelling the flights.
So on the August bank holiday Monday (27th August 2018), we managed to get some baby sitters so my wife and I could spend a day at Duxford. We took the Cessna 172 G-ATWJ for the trip and plotted a route that I know would challenge me more than most of my recent flights.
My wife was a great help taking some of the workload off of me by programming radio frequencies and looking after the transponder along the way.
We departed on runway 28 at Headcorn and left the circuit upwind and shortly after made a right turn towards Maidstone where we made contact with Southend Radar for a Basic Service. Initially we could only climb to 2,100 feet due to some low cloud that was hanging around. As we routed towards the Dartford crossing the cloud cleared slightly and we could climb slightly higher.
After passing over the River Thames and entering the county of Essex our most direct route to Duxford was to pass directly over the runway at Stansted airport. The alternative meant flying around the controlled airspace which would add another 15 minutes to the journey.
With this in mind, before we even departed, I used the online service provided by NATS ( to pre-notify of my intentions to transit the Class D airspace above London. Knowing that there would be a high possibility that my request would be denied en-route, I also planned a back up to route north east towards Earls Colne and fly around the controlled airspace.
On reaching Brentwood I requested a frequency change to Essex Radar to request a zone transit. They offered me a Traffic Service and coordinated my request with Stansted Director before requesting that a call them on the radio.
To my surprise my request was approved by the really helpful controller on the Stansted Director frequency who requested that I transit direct to the threshold of runway 22 to get me through between inbound commercial jet traffic.
On approaching the Stansted overhead, I was in for a treat as a Boeing 747 took off underneath me and a Ryanair Boeing 737 was on final approach.
After passing the airfield we continued routing towards the Barkway VOR where my Radar Control service was terminated and we changed frequency to Duxford information to get the details for our approach and information to join the circuit.
We joined the circuit on the left hand downwind leg for runway 24 left and at the time the circuit was relatively quiet. As we descended and turned onto final approach I had to battle to help the plane stable as we experienced some wind shear and turbulence.
After touching down, we vacated at the end of the runway and then taxied past the hangars and displays of commercial airliners where we met a marshaller who guided us to our parking stand.
Our day at Duxford was great fun and great value for money. Entry to the Imperial War Museum for both my wife and I was included in the £15 landing fee. After a nice lunch in their cafe we set off exploring. It was great to see Battle of Britain aircraft such as the Spitfire but the highlight for me was walking through the cabin and getting a sneak peek of the flight deck on the Concorde.
There was so much to see and do that we eventually ran out of time before we needed to return the Cessna back to Headcorn, so there is definitely have an excuse to visit again soon.
I was really impressed by everything Duxford had to offer from the helpful and informative controllers on the Duxford Information frequency, a nice long tarmac runway and everything that was included in an extremely reasonable landing fee.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
