My reason for not being there was that I'd been travelling all week, back late Friday evening, usual flying companion not available that day (so both legs would have to be flown by me) and I have around 100hrs total time. I could see the holes in the Swiss Cheese appearing and made the decision not to travel. Better late in this world than early in the next

Hope to meet the young lady pilots (who also didn't make it this time) at the next fly-in
