Nice pics, Kristof  . How did you get access to the Gill Aviation facilities ? I think this normally "restricted area", isn't it ? Thanks for sharing. Jumbo. |

Thanks Jumbo ;D
The Gill Aviation hangar is situated on the north side of the airport (just like the hangars you can see in the back on the two pics), there is a public road here where you can drive with your car between the aircrafts ;D, you can also check this on the Wevelgem spottingmap on my website. I just asked permission to enter the hangar and take pics and they said yes! Gill aviation used to be based at the grasfield of Amougies but moved to Wevelgem a few months ago.

Hey Kristof, It has been a long time ago since I've been at Wevelgem.  I know the public road that is parallell to the runway, and I remember seeing hangars there. But they were allways closed when I was there (most of the time around 12 hours) and I could not stay longer than one hour. Anyway, I will check the spottingmap on your website  Thanks for replying !

Greetz Jumbo When I went there , some months ago , all hangars were open , but haven't been inside of it , it was not on a weekday but on a Sunday , and there was a lot of traffic and about 10 spotters including Faan and Wim-Tom from the Koksijde spotting group ;D |

Great, I've never seen 10 spotters at Wevelgem ;D. Many times I'm alone. You must have been lucky that it was busy because mostly isn't  . But if is busy, there are always some nice planes ;D |
