Yep!
Flew out of Elstree from runway 08 for the first time yesterday thinking it was going to be a lovely smooth ride all the way round to Dartford and back. I too was in for a shock. I am quite comfortable with a few bumps, however, one of my (first time) passengers was too scared to open their eyes for most of the trip!!
On approach back into Elstree’s 08 I have never had to fight with the controls as much as I did yesterday. I struggled to maintain a good sped, which in turn led to a massive float and very late touch down, followed by heavy braking to clear the runway!
Not your usual flight but good fun and a great experience. Oh, and I could see for absolutely miles and miles to the North.
