Out and Return to Trowbridge 177km
DD3 "This flight wasn't supposed to happen, I had intended to help with setting up for Nick's party. However they did say fly if you can and we'll have plenty of help anyway, so when Chris Wool who I haven't flown with for ages expressed an interest we decided to give it a go. Conditions, though still hot and blue turned out better than expected. there had been mutterings about Wantage o/r before the start, but we were so late starting that went out the clearview panel and we just set off to the East in pursuit of Pete Startup.
We turned Trowbridge at Pete's suggestion and picked up a climb to 7,000 feet near Street for a fast final glide home; pausing briefly to overfly the party preparations at Culmhead. I bottled on the Vne beat up not sure we would have enough energy to get home?? must look into the possibility sometime :-)" Phil Morrison
230 "After a torrid day yesterday flying with no T/E, today was a nice little run out to make sure I'd fixed it - I have. Bit of a faff on the way back but most enjoyable, with DD3 for company." Pete Startup
