Thanks all for your comments, this is how it felt for me
We we were stood with other ‘Saturday’ crowd the atmosphere was clam none of us said much, she taxied down turned round, stood there for iterally minutes, powered up and began rolling, I must admit at first it was kind of like one of our fast taxy runs which we see so many times at open days, but the power kept on coming and within seconds she was off and gently pulling away from the ground, and like I said I was shaking, I couldnt stop my camera hand, it was abit unreal.
We then stood there and watched her turn left and fly away, and then silence untill people around me began to clap.
We then stood and waited for her to return, with a slight tension in the air, then a spec appeared in the distance, a dark trail behind it (what carbon foot print;) ) she came in low and slow and did a perfect run though, turned left again, the gear came down and with in minutes she was down on terrafima again.
It was back to panting after that, sort of strange really.
I feel lucky to have been there when she arrived back in 93, watched her though the last 14 years while we have beavered away with our two and witnessing another stage in her life, long may it continue safely.
Im sure the invited guests and staff at the top of the hill were all over the moon and rightly so, they have done a outstanding job.
Keep smiling 😀
