Yes, chevron, it was Milltown and it was definitely a 16-year old Prince Andrew. Peter Bullivant trained him in Sedbergh WB922. Peter told me that the first two solos were flown well but on the third, the Sedbergh turned downwind early and the nose went down. Then it recovered from the dive and flew a normal circuit. Andrew apparently considered doing a loop but then thought of his horrified instructor on the ground and relented.[IMG][/URL][/IMG]
