Thursday 23th July 2009

Well I was ready & waiting for Team Guinot to get here from Rendcomb to pick me up (mustn’t forget me!) for the Lowestoft Airshow. I am such a lucky bear to be invited to be part of the Team for the afternoon. First I watched the girls warm up and sort their rigs out, then I had my picture taken with them whilst they went through their routines on the wing – there’s more to that job than I thought! Dave sat me in the pilots seat and I stood next to the wheel, I also sat on the prop, it was such fun, then I flew to the show in the back of the plane. The girls climbed up into the rig over Kessingland and strapped themselves in then we sped up and went into the routine, starting with a loop, it was fab, and I really loved it, 12 minutes of wheeling around the skies! All too soon we came back and landed and I could get my breath back!! WOW!! When can I go again Dave???
