Finally made it to a pprune fly-in and met some of the ppruners.
Thanks for the cake Kolibear.
Trip to Popham and back from Sywell, rounded off a nice weekends flying which started with our first trip abroad on Saturday, when we flew to Grimbergen in Belgium, which is inside the Brussels zone, for the AYA fly-in.
We stopped at Calais both ways and met up with the Grumpy Gang. A great bunch who made us feel welcome and treated us like old friends.
My honorary moniker in Grumpy Gang circles now "Grumpy Chopper". Cheers Guys (and Galls) you know who you are (approaching BeachPig indeed!).
Take off from Popham made only slightly hairy by a YAK decending onto us at the hold as he was well to the right of the runway, resulted in my having to take avoiding action, and then my take off accelleration was a bit slow meaning I had to do a zoom climb and turn over 26 to avoid the trees at the end of 21.
Lovely flight back to Sywell and saw loads of traffic so quite a few enjoying the weather.
Cheers
