I received a test flight in a small aircraft as a Father's Day present this year from Elizabeth and Andrew. When we arrived at Henlow Airfield we discovered that, for a small fee, Anna and Elizabeth could "come fly with me". We had nearly an hour in the air altogether, and the photos below show us and where we went.
Myself and "Peter the Pilot", a teddy that formed part of my present.
The three of us in front of the four-seater Cessna.
Ready to go!
The three passengers in the back seats.
Over Biggleswade.
Potton seen from the plane.
Myself at the controls.
Over Grafham Water.
Up above the clouds.
Our street.
And the house in close-up.
Central Potton.

Oh what fun we had!
Good to see that Juande didn't take too long to find another job!
They just get everywhere!
