Illegal plane landing in council park

(1/3) > >>

ne jones:
We went for a very pleasant walk today with some friends in Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield nr B'ham.
While enjoying the countryside we were surprised to find that a Bi-plane had landed in the park. We saw the plane and went over to it getting a couple of pics of it in the process.
The park rangers using two LR's and some other 4x4 were there by the time we got there and i chatted with one of them. The pilot had landed in the park just because he wanted to, no emergency, no real reason.
The pilot insisted in taking off but there was some words spoken between the rangers and pilot and they physically prevented him from starting his plane, afterall there were people all over the field in which he had landed and these needed to be cleared to a safe distance first.
The rangers cleared people from the entire area and while doing so the police arrived and had words with the pilot.
In the end he was cleared for take off and we stood and watched as he taxi'd past us to get into the wind to take off.
After take off he circled us once then flew away.

It certainly added a dimension to our day that none of us expected.

Pics below, can anyone identify the plane, like make and model etc?

Boggert:
I think thats against the law, Police shoild of stuck him with a section 59  :lol:

I wonder if you can do that to a plane!

Budgie:
I could have with the reg, I can see G-A but need the other 3 letters. Then I can look it up and also see who it belongs too.  :wink:

Mudlark:
How about borrowing a plane and go buzzing a few bobble hats when they are walking their new RBs? :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Mudlark:
Long time since I spotted planes but I think it could be a Gypsy Moth
