Ann makes a great Bacon Butty 

If I had known you were going I could have asked a couple of friends who are based there to show you around the other hangars.

I noticed you didnt log G-BHTC inside the skunk works, its in there having its mags sorted. Also next to the microlight hangar is the wreck of Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik G-BZVX

hi chris it was a spur of the moment thing to pick up a friend thanks. the jodel must have gone as i didn,t notice it,and i seem to remember the stormavik being pointed out to me on a previous visit but didn,t know the reg. the water bird made a hop a couple of days ago (without floats) and the auster is waiting for someone to take it to wellesbourne for onward to eaglescott.anyway hope to see you tomoz at turweston where i believe the wind is not in our favour this year
regards bob

The wind is indicating that 09 will be in use, same as last year. The problem might be the early morning fog
