First time into Kemble and first time to the PFA Rallye. I'm glad that I had a co-pilot as there was a lot of info to assimilate and the weather was marginal. We didn't see many other aircraft until we were on base leg, when we discovered three more a/c in front of us.

The marshalling was very good, no problems with finding a parking space.

We had a go in the BA Flight Sim and made a complete hash of landing a B737 at Heathrow. Is it true that during the PFA Rally , Kemble is busier than LHR?

Our major grouse was the timing of the aerobatics from 3:30 to 5:30. Our home airfield shuts at 7:00 so even with a tailwind we would have to be airborne by 6:00 and I'm sure that we would not had been the only ones in the queue. We ended up leaving at about 3:00.

All in all, a good day. We bumped into Mike Cross, Windy Militant & A Pommie, as well as another one of our group who had driven down there.
