Thanks Joel and thanks for the 'back in the saddle ride' this afternoon.
Just to clarify. Our original fuel calculations were proved to be absolutely spot on when we refuelled at Lydd - we were initially caused concern at the fly-in due to conflicting indications from the fuel flow meter, the fuel guage and the trusty dipstick. Again for the sake of clarity, Iain and Karen very kindly offered to help us get some alternative fuel but help from a few other quarters wasn't exactly forthcoming.
The locals near our emergency landing site were absolutely fantastic - with particular thanks from all of us to Mack (who ended up driving us to Gatwick) and Lance (the farmer). I can strongly recommend the area for auto's to anyone.
Finally and perhaps needless to say, ATC were absolutely spot on and the Police Heli, who was overhead within three minutes of us touching down.
All in all - quite a day.
