MMMMMmmmm Robin

Hi Billy M

Just got back from a week touring in France in the Regent.

Direct Les Sables D'Olonne (nr La Rochelle) - Turweston in 2hrs and 40 mins. Autopilot on, arms folded, 2xGNS430's giving me all the info - wonderful warm, cozy, light cockpit environment.

I never take these things for granted - I am a lucky ****** shurenough.

Howling 25kt crosswind necessitated a tricky approach into a 300 metre cross-runway. I reckon I stopped in 75 yards - no drama.

The Robin is a remarkable aircraft with a proven track record. Piece of pee to fly.

A bespoke machine that is just that bit special. Why oh why are there so many dogs around? They deserve better. Mine, 18 months old and 200 hours, is like brand new.

MMMMMmmmmm!
