Very sad ndeed, and on such a super day, as well. 5 knots of wind, unlimited viz, warm sunshine with not a cloud in the sky,
and the air so smooth. And cold, so the engine develops max power, the wings max lift, and flying controls max 'bite'.
I was not far away from there - aerobatting the Chippy up near
Pendle Hill (watching for the Sabden witches who would surely be out on their broomsticks on such a day), with the snow-capped Cumbrian mountains clearly visible to the north. Back south, with the Welsh coast, Anglesey, and Cader Idris clear as crystal.
I have also flown in a K13 from the site. Condolences to those left behind. It took the edge off the day when I heard this sad news.

PS - Poet, if SL continues to perform as she did yeaterday, we'll re-plan that trip soon?
