Well, the PPRuNe Private Flying Fly-in finally happened
Girl Flyday and I got there after an interesting trip against a 30 kt headwind, which didn't prevent us taking a sightseeing tour of the Severn Bridge on the way, but did mean it took us ages and that DOC.400 left while I was paying for fuel. However, Chilli Monster acted as our private taxi service from the fuel pumps to the cafe, and afterwards we met Skylark4, AC-DC, GulfstreamV, and New Bloke. If I've missed anyone out of that list my sincere apologies - put it down to the wind throwing my little heli around and destroying my few remaining brain cells. Anyway, it was really great to meet you all, and sorry the others couldn't make it; I ran out every time a microlight flew in to see if Genghis had arrived, as I thought he flew in any conditions - but obviously there are limits. Getting back was fun for us with a 30 kt tailwind too!
Yes, I'd love to go to Compton Abbas or Popham as I haven't been to either, but as a veggie I'll give the streaky bacon a miss - cheese butties for me please.
