Well I definitely wasn’t the first to fly in the new year but I may have been the coldest:
Monewden, Suffolk to Earls Colne and return, outbound was into a 25 knot headwind, no surprise that the trip back took half the time. OAT was 3deg, open cockpit with wind chill made it bl**dy freezing. Coldest hour airborne in a long time brrrrr – but the viz was fabulous…!!
