Start of a busy, but fun weekend! First off we flew to Martlesham for a display at BT families day. We were the first aircraft to land at Martlesham for many years – this place has a great history as a famous RAF station – but now the land is home to BT. We landed on a strip of grass at the back of the site called ‘The Range’ which is used for testing new telephones! I had my 1st Yak display today – and my head is still spinning … what happened during a lomcevak – I had NO idea which way was up! After that it was off to Rougham where I met up with mum again, and this time displayed with her in the Auster – much more sedate & ladylike I’ll have you know! Mum, Dom & I then headed home to Hardwick, dodging the rain & storms & CBs on the way! The viz was really crap in places – but good old mum got us safetly home! We then were waiting for Justyn & Mungo to turn up for their photo-shoot, poor mum was getting so worried as the weather wasn’t very nice and they were late. But thankfully all was ok & they turned up so that we could go out for a meal, while everyone else made do with a Chinese at the hanger!
