CAVOK
It took until late morning in the Midlands for the cloud to clear but we eventually set off for Cherbourg (no ATC on Sundays/ Mondays - FP closed by phone!) and then 'did' the Normandy beaches - Pegasus bridge etc - then up to Le TOuquet. Flying back over Shepy we were passed by a lose formation of Corsiar,Mustang, Spitfire and P40 (I think) presumably on their way back to Duxford.
The weather was staggering. Ican't remeber how many times we looked at the map with astonishment and said - 'do you realise that's 40 miles away...!'
5 1/2 hours in a new Robin followed by 2 pints of Adnams.
Isn't life a bitch.
