Lister,

Your "coach" is pretty good at what he does and therefore he tends to make it look easy. Most of the boys from my venue yesterday were popping down today but I understand that the fly-by of Mrs and Mr Posh Spice's gaff was called off.

Was the Curtis Hawk (P40) there? It was recalcitrant to start yesterday (shades of last Sunday!) and delayed our time off the blocks by 5 mins. The impact of which was that I was still on my roll-out when the Typhoon started its ear splitting routine - I'd just about reached the lazy-lane when it went overhead the first time and I wondered who'd shot me down, as the noise was so loud even inside my aeroplane!!

Can't imagine the trip down was in great weather if it compared to my trip home
