Sunday 8th- a trip to the sea side

On Sunday Liz kindly offered the back seat of Duo Discus 620 to give me some tips on flying XC faster. Oh and to undertake some instructor checks 🙂

After Pitsford and Petersfield West we were supposed to fly back north to Oxford and back to Lasham (sorry the L word!) for 420K but upon reaching Petersfield the lure of the coast was just too strong.

It’s always been a dream of mine to fly an A/R to the Isle of Wight and I came very close to achieving it as the photos below prove.

All in all about 340K was flown but even though we didn’t make the trip over the Solent it really was great fun!

Saturday 6th July, Denzel finally flies!

Many thanks to SUGC for the loan of Denzel!

After some work by Andy and the team to get it into fine fettle it was finally launched skywards on its maiden Shalbourne flight by Bob.

 

 

After a successful test flight it has now been released to service, many thanks to Beanie for some of the photos.

Saturday 29th June

Thanks to everyone who has helped with their training!
