Big excitement today ... we are going to Little Gransden to photograph a pilot’s bum (oooohhh hope my eyes can BEAR it!! Only slight problem – to get there I’ve got to fly with Debs & Nigel – in a C152 with Debs trying to fly it!! We had a good trip there & flew right over the top of Duxford – wow all the aircraft there .... I want to go in & have a look! Landing at Little Gransden was interesting as Debs was all of a dither & we had to go around – phew at least Nigel had control .... ahhhhh – then he gave it back to Debs – FOOL!! At least she got us down in 1 piece this time.
I liked Little Gransden – lots of interesting aircraft in the hangers – including several yaks! I got to meet Mark Jefferies and also had a look at his new Extra .... ooooooh that’s a smart aircraft ... wonder if he’d take me with him in it??!! Well we had our photo shoot & the guy was such a good sport & had no problems getting cheeky for us!!! But I did have to cover my eyes with my paws at one moment LOL!!
I had a big treat on the way home – I got to fly with mum – YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We flew back over Duxford again and Ian took some photos of the aircraft on the ground. He also took some in-flight pics of us in G-DEMH ... it was soooooo good to fly with mum at last. We went back to Earls Colne for tea then mum headed back to Hardwick without me – sob! But she said it was best so that I could fill my log book with some more hours .... but I am going to go with her next week – yippee!
