That's great, second time I have seen G-KRES come to Lee for the weekend in the last couple of years, good to see it come back.

Thanks for comment, yeah it's been picking up lately, new hangers to be built this year as well. All go.

Not so much in the spring/summer but common in the winter. Used to get Lynx and Seakings a lot as well until they went :sad:
