Hi DAVE,
Apologies for not replying earlier !

I saw you standing with the passengers and I gave you a wave,what did the departure look like ? :rolleyes:

It took approx 10 mins to get to Kemble,that was with one engine shut down to save juice….

On nearing Kemble, Dan restarted it and I am sure opened the taps a bit, so what ever we saved on the way there was probably used up !

We shot along the runway, did a few wing waves,pulled up up in a ,I would guess, 3 g climb and straight into a derry turn for downwind to land.Needless to say the video camera I was using to record the flight ended up in my lap during the derry turn,I have always wanted to do one of those,If only he had warned me first:eek:

After a very smooth landing, we taxied in past the crowd line, waving to all and sundry, always wanted to that as well!

Parked up next to Delta’s fleet and shutdown.
What a way to arrive.:D
I am glad to say I kept my breakfast down………..

I then spent the day watching the coming and goings of the aircraft on the jet pan and looking after the Meteor and Venom ,that Dan also displayed, this was something I have wanted to do since I became a volunteer three years ago and I cannot wait to do it again and if I get there in something interesting then that is a bonus (I can’t wait for the Vampire and Canberra to be servicable again:diablo: ).
All in all a fantastic day.
Thanks to all at the Classic Flight for the oppourtunity and the Delta guys for their hospitality.
Cheers, Alan
