An usual view of Stansted Airport from under the wing of a Cessna 150. Rarely do such small aeroplanes land at Stansted nowadays. The occasion was the 50th anniversary (1969-2019) of a flight made by a now retired airline pilot in this aeroplane, Cessna 150 GAVUH, at Skywork Ltd., a small flight school then based at Stansted Airport. Skywork operated two Cessna 150's, this one (then one year old) and GAWOT, plus a Piper Comanche. So the pilot returned to the airport 50 years later in this same aircraft. Titan Airways' hangar and Boeing 767 can be seen next to the windsock top left. See Image, Image and Image
