I've had a great week off work and managed to get 19 hours of flying done in the space of a week so making good progress.  I though I would share a few of my picture with you:  I had a Grob booked for the full week and managed to fly down to Eshott airfield near Newcastle which has a 550m by 12m runway!  The next day I flew up to Wick airport, the furthest north on the mainland then the next day down to Kirkbride near Carlisle:  Here are some of the pics I took:  Feel free to upload any pics of your flying too.

That's where the ferry pilots arrive from the US.

 

If they survive the trip that is, in their baby planes fit to burst with fuel, and battling the weather.

 

Many are never seen again.

Come down to Netherthorpe and have a go on our 382m runway.
