Absolutely, and hats off to the team from Wickenby for doing so. As I write the aircraft are still in Albert, the team had to abandon them due to the weather last weekend (something about going back to their 'jobs'.....). They were hoping to fly out today to pick them up but once again they're grounded by fog, at Wickenby this time, so hopes are not high of a recovery.

Even if they can get to Albert there's the small matter of the trip back across the Channel. Having made the trip myself (in a Bulldog, another story...!) I can appreciate the difficulties, and worries, of a single engine over the water.
