Sunday 30th August 2009


Another air show – and this time it’s one run by another bear … Pudsey Bear – we are off to the Little Gransden Air Show!! Quite a few of our friends are going so it should be a good day. I flew in with Uncle Vernon and friends in CV – call sign ‘Pudsey 33’!!! We met up with Debs and she took me around the show introducing me to people and we gave out loads of flyers. It was such a squash when we went to the pilots’s brief and there was so much to sort out …. Grandad & Uncle Dave were planning their escape after their slot! I flew with Uncle Nigel today & we started off in formation (of sorts) with a Yak 18 – unusual looking machine – had a really funny looking nose cowl! Then Nigel ‘strutted his stuff’ including one of those lomcevak things … I still don’t know how he knows which way is up??!! I was supposed to go flying with Uncle Dale in a Cornell … but unfortunately it went tech – so didn’t get a go in that. Finally after a busy day I hitched a lift back to Hardwick with Debs & Uncle Nigel – as mum also managed to beat an early escape from the show! Phew - was tired and glad to get to my bed after the fun of today.
