AerBabe - and there I was thinking you were calling me young

The tech problem was an overcharging one. The ammeter was showing a huge charge rate which in the last 5 minutes of the flight dropped to negative. After a couple of hours wait, engineers pronounced the day over Good really 'cos that means more fun next week

I've had harder landings but when you have pilots of such experience next to you, one does like to do it well and grease it on - it was tiredness, paying to much attention to the lead and forgetting to fly the plane all the way to the ground which meant I let the speed drop too low and she gave up flying a couple of feet too soon
