2012 - Another Year of Blue Sky Thinking

Well the weather over the Christmas period was pretty poor so no flying there but within a week of the New Year (after some of the strongest winds for a decade or two) things had started to improve.

With all the various service works and inspections completed & with a little bit of arm twisting Les agreed to G-CEDI coming out of hibination a little earlier than normal. By the 8th of Jan I'd managed to take her for her maiden flight of 2012 and since then have manged to get out and play on a couple of further occasions including a lovely circuit bashing trip to Headcorn (sorry for overusing the radio Mr controller).

In addition to the above I've also managed to squeeze in another flight in Rob Grimwoods Eurostar (G - CGZY) up at Plaistows in preparation for my Assistant Instructors training course which I'm due to start in Feb. Please check out my other blogs for the story on this one.
