Its going quite well. I had a period a while back where I didnt fly for ages but in the last few weeks Ive been lucky with the weather. Seems like i could fly tommorrow too. Ive been flying around and around in circles lately which is fun as I like landing and taking off.

Was Lewis a ferry pilot when he first went to France? I thought he just arrived at St. Omer where all the ferry pilots were and they kept him there just to gain more time but he didnt actually ferry anything. He did his first loop and forced landing at the same time and ruined a Bristol Bullet when he was there.

Has anyone heard of "Flying Fury" by James McCudden. I heard it mentioned somewhere. Is it diaries or what and is it good?
