Not great flying weather so some news...

He and John Michie are now flying to Oshkosh, via circuit of the Statue of Liberty,

what an epic. and experience!

On terra firma we've done a lot to the Seneca, with Peter Dobson's help taking the port instrument panel out to devise and fit another to accommodate digital insts.

David Oswald & Steve Elkin have helped with building and welding up a frame around the cockpit on the trailer, preparing it for the sides and hatches to be fitted.

The Seneca is now at Peters for further thoughts and enhancement!

This Saturday we'll be taking the whole Kit to RAF Northolt for their Communities Day.

The next day I'm in Kidwells Park, Maidenhead Festival with Martyn Looker with a few Pedal Planes and the Tomahawk cockpit, any others to join us would be good? 1100-1630hrs
