My first flight was in a Chippy but not an AEF - just a joyride with my wifes cousin who has a share in one.
If you we're in Royston on Saturday evening, t'was me overhead having another go and getting in a few aeros. They weren't very good but said wife still had to slap me to remove the inane grin.
Lovely aircraft, gorgeous engine sound and an honour to fly.
