Just got back from the Fly in. A Couple of showers on the way and could only get 1700 ft til north of Melton Mowbry.
great turnout though, enjoyed the day thoroughly including the pitts en masse.
Trip back was great, showers all gone and cloudbase lifted nicely.
Must get a pprune cap or something as I didn't meet any other pruners, but then I didn't know what to look for.
Who went? and what were you flying ?
I was with my wife in our white and red AA1B Yankee G-BBWZ
we are now based at Sywell.
Look out for us and say hi at the next one.

Intended going Saturday and camping overnight, but the forecast weather was pretty dire.
As it turned out, Saturday evening wasn't bad at all - wind had dropped and the sky cleared!
However, we eventually made it in our Jodel just after 14:00 on Sunday, and by this time the Wx was quite nice, we managed almost 3000' all the way.
Seemed like it was a good turn out - I think the show stealer was the beautiful AN2 LY-BIG - got some piccies and will try to post later.

Hi all, just a brief note to say 'thanks' to everyone that made it, and made it happen. The team here all hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did. We're still counting, but it looks like we raised about £1500 for charity.
