Hello,
I won’t do much of a report, just that today I flew a Grumman Tiger from Blackbushe (EGLF) to Thruxton (touch and go). We departed around 10:00UTC. Here are some pics of a memorable flight. The weather was quite bad, not too bumpy but plenty of mild turbulence. The landing back at Blackbushe was quite hairy, a 10kt crosswind.
Many thanks to Geoff Woods. He was my instructor, he made me feel very comfortable with the whole ordeal and I enjoyed chatting to him.
Bye.
Alex.

Did you spend some time browsing the popular Sunday market whilst you were there?
It’s only about 10 minutes down the road from me.

My sister was in the backseat. Her boyfriend also took pics on the ground. Thanks for the comments.
