Just like to thank you all for a perfect day. It was actually my 50th birthday, hence the promise to buy tea & cakes. I can't think of a better way to spend a birthday than with friends, flying and with such glorious weather.
Big thank you to Mike Cross who took me up in his Luscombe. This was my first trip in a tail-dragger and I'd like to apologise for my poor taxiing, as in the Koliber, we use the rudders vigourously for taxing but not much during flight. But it was alovely flight, a few gentle aeros and a smooth landing - Mike, you made it look so easy
Mrs K enjoyed herself too, as a non-avaitor she's always a bit apprehensive that she'll be left out, but she had a lovely time.
Hi to M14P - nice to see you again.
We routed back to North Weald via WOD and gave Wycombe a wide berth due to the gliders.
As the put the aircraft to bed, our resident Spitfire whistled down the runway, landed and taxiied past.
To round the day off, we had a couple of drinks with Rallye Driver & Aerbabe outside The Squadron.
