Talking

Well I'd love the wind in my hair, but I havent got very much (hair that is, not wind....).

Pottering around Barton I'll probably stick to non-radio, but it's longer trips where I would like something to keep the ambient noise levels down and of course to chat to people. I've already bought the paint scraper to chip the ice off on the transatlantic attempt, so once I have a headset I'll consider myself fully airways equipped........

Yes, it is good old G-AYSK. Been at Barton for many years, originally built 1971. I'm really just reliving my misspent youth - had a VP1 in the 80s which was even windier. I didnt have a very satisfactory headset for that, and I remember getting headaches on the longer runs... partially the noise, partially the frostbitten ears.

Must dig out that thermos flask and longjohns...
