HAF - ELEFSIS
On the 02/04/2019 a visit was arranged via the Hellenic Air Force/British Embassy in Athens and 112 Combat Wing to view and photograph aircraft from the units stationed at Elefsina.
The day was scheduled as a down day so the flying oppertunities were limited. But our guide for the day explained some aircraft types would be visible on the airfield and limited access was possible into the hangers of certain squadrons and stored aircraft located on the station.
After viewing various stored and withdrawn from use aircraft we were finally taken to the Heritage Park to photograph various preserved aircraft from the Hellenic air Force.
