I'm going to Wales for a couple of days this week. Sadly, I'll be travelling by ferry unless someone wants to offer to fly me over. The purpose of my trip; to see my new aeroplane and to get a crash-course (unfortunate phrase) in aircraft ownership. The forecast isn't great for the rest of the week so it's unlikely that I'll see HI fly. I'm going to be confined to making aeroplane noises sitting in the cockpit, well maybe I'll get to start her up.
In any case, most of the time over there will be spent learning my way around the Luscombe. Pete has his work cut out for him. When in comes to machinery, I'm an interested amateur so he's got a lot of teaching to do. I've got technical aptitude just not a lot of experience - I missed out on the whole tinkering with cars as a teenager - so I tend to need hand-holding. I'm looking forward to it though; I've been trying to resurrect my old mini to get me in the mood (I got her started yesterday, next project)
Things will probably go quiet here for a bit but I'll try to keep you posted on progress.
