Do you think, if I ask nicely, he’ll let me borrow his Provost?

Dunno, I have been known to borrow it (just the once). There’ll be an article on the whys and wherefores on that soon. There’ll also be a GREAT pic of me in the article. Alan is a dead good chap. You have reminded me I need to go play Provosts again.

So what did you fly in this week?

G-BAKV, the Thruxton Supercub. Hadn’t flown for six months so Barry Dyke, the CFI, made me do a circuit and then got out (I must have scared him). Just pottered around the circuit a few times to keep legal. Flapless landings in preparation for the Dearwings (Flaps? New-fangled nonsense!).

I need to do some more soon as I hate just doing the minimum but I have a prop and cowlings to pay for. A chap called Russell Williams is over from the US at the moment and he has a collection of Warner-powered aeroplanes. He also put ip the Warner manual on the web so has saved me a lot of effort. He has said he’d like to have a whiz around so we may do the local aviation sites tour. Steve mentioned he’d like to do some Cubbing when he was over last time.

I may just go out looking for corn circles. That is always fun.
