Just a quickie… I went over to Sherburn today to do the final preparation for next week’s navigation exercise. We’ll be flying to Bridlington and Brough. So I need to get the procedure straight. There’ll be a small chance to revise it before we go. This will be my first proper navigation using a [...]
Up Down – Flying Around!
We were pleasantly surprised by some more good weather today. So I managed to get over to Sherburn for an hour of flying instruction. It was time for some more practise of precautionary procedures today. It’s a lot to take in all in one go but very enjoyable stuff and as mentioned before, essential [...]

Some of the pictures are [...]

It’s been a while…
Lots of music and flying related things going on.
Most notable news would be that I have now passed three more of the PPL exams.
After passing Air Law late in 2008, I realised (rather late) that I have only a remaining six months to pass all six other exams. Luckily the exams [...]
That Was a Tough One
Long time no blog…
I promised for my own safety (and the reader’s) that I would not write anything over the past few months.
Mum’s illness (cancer) got much worse in May and after some time in St. Gemma’s, she finally passed away on July 1st, 2009.
Here’s a picture of us from early June. We had [...]
