Hi all,

Megara

A quick and discrete look at Megara on a quiet Sunday morning yielded the following.

Six Chinooks went begging out of the 17 seen. Any help with these of any of the mis-read civil stuff would be much appreciated. The heat haze didn’t help and no photographs were taken for obvious reasons.

Elefsis

Again a lot of discretion was shown by us here and we only left the car once. We couldn’t read anything off most of the stored stuff within the airfield, but could identify the types, so if anyone can confirm my assumptions please, that would be appreciated.

We read off two of the seven C.27Js and the other five have been assumed from a report from the day before – again if anyone can help with these, then thanks again! The Falcon 7X took off whilst we were there but I had seen this before as dark side OO-JUK.

After the military excitement of Megara and Elefsis, we spent the rest of the day at the airport

With Athens Airport, you really need a car as you can get access to the biz and general aviation areas by doing so – be discrete in these areas though and don’t take any photographs. By doing these areas, we also got some airliners that were stored/awaiting maintenance, that wouldn’t be seen from the terminal.

We stayed at “Apartments Tina”, which is based nearer to the airport than our previous accommodation and provides a free shuttle service, if required – this allowed us to get rid of the hire car a day earlier. You’ll see either arrivals or departures, but not both “Apartments Tina”. This accommodation was nicer but more expensive than Country Rooms near Athens. Both of these can be booked via Booking.com

Whilst at the airport, we had noticed a R-66 making flights nearby. We used ADSB and Google Maps to track it to this helipad set-up about 20 minutes from the airport and South of Spata

Monday 16th May 2022

Last day our Greek adventure and an early start for our British Airways flight home to Heathrow. I got lucky as two Egyptian Air Force C.295s arrived as we left our apartment near to the airport, and one managed to take off and escape whilst I was educating the Greek border control, that my passport needed a stamp in it. Their computer system had gone down and things were being noted down using good old paper and pen, traditional tools for spotters!

I was lucky because 1193/SU-BRU was the one that escaped (shortly followed by 1193/SU-BRR), but I had seen that one at Brize Norton back in 2019.

Hope you enjoyed the report. I made 367 frames over the five days, so more than happy with that return.
