Saturday 11th July 2009


Busy busy day today – yippee - got three mustang flights lined up – yay I’m such a lucky little bear! First I flew with mum and Uncle Dave up to Brough (oooh – that caught them out - they had to find a Northern map!). It was family’s day there and Uncle Dave was displaying the mustang and he said I could go along for the ride if I promised to be good!! Oooh my head is still spinning – lots of upside stuff & turns – hope the people on the ground appreciated the G we pulled for them!! After the display mum and I fuelled up (lots of fuel for this aircraft – it took us ages!) and then Uncle Dave flew us back to Hardwick. What a great time – I LOVE flying in the Mustang! I had another treat when we got back as mum flew the Harvard – and of course she had her little co-pilot with her! Then it was time for the Hardwick 1940's big band hanger dance. Wow what a great evening – loads of people dressed up in 1940s clothes & there was lots of jitterbug dancing … I was itching to have a go but I think I have 2 left feet … paws are just not made for dancing! Grandad had got the aircraft outside & they were floodlit & looked amazing … great evening!
