Fabulous pictures, Basil. I didn't take many photos, but my passenger did so there may be a few more to come. We explored the Oberland fairly thoroughly, then aimed for the Matterhorn (which we missed, due to heavy sink just North of the Dent Blanche), flew past the Grand Combin and on to the Mont Blanc massif. It was a great morning's flying.
This is the Otemma glacier, just East of the Grand Combin:

Aosta is a nice destination - pleasant town, and a good airport in a stunning location. Nicer still is the nearby strip at Chamois, a few minutes flight from Aosta. The village of Chamois can be reached by cable car, or by air. Here is the strip (the threshold is about a quarter of the way up the picture, directly above the wing):
Final approach, several thousand feet above ground level at this point:

Touchdown in a strong crosswind:
The parking area during the annual fly-in:

G-PLAN well known
She is a well known ol' gal. Its amazing who knows her , a few years ago I managed to get up front on a flight to Tenerife (in the good old days 
) Talking to the Captain I mentioned that I had a share in a plane at Barton. It turned out that he had done some of his ppl training in G-PLAN. Small world.
Although only a C150 she has seen me to Orkney in the North , Alderney in the south , lands end in the west and I think North Coates is as far east as I have been. May not be the fastest in the aviation world or perform like the proverbial homesick angel , but reliable and easy to fly , definitely.

Air to Air photography
Yesterday I took out the freshly repainted SX-ATK and two friends with a Cessna and we flew off for some aerial photography.
I attach samples:
