CONGRATULATIONS again to you. Your Europa is a beautiful example and we were
all
very pleased to see her at Cranfield.
G-RIKS is certainly an example of the standard to aspire to.
Well done on a project well done!
---From us all at Europa

Big Panic to get to Cranfield but at last!!
G-RIKS, Tri Gear 912s PV50 871 lb with 11 lb in the tail, had it's maiden
flight on the 11th June at Cambridge.
The incomparable John Brownlow was my test pilot and my emotions are clear to
see from the shaking of the video I took of John taking off for the first
time. Fortunately Tony Kay was also videoing with John's camera!
Joining John for the second flight was an amazing experience.
I must thank Barry Castle, my every patient inspector, Tony Kay for his never
ending support and enthusiasm John Scott and his team at Cambridge for the
near operating theatre standards of cleanliness at the workshop (!) and their
limitless breadth of knowlege of all things to do with building planes
espescially as about three quarters through construction I was afflicted by a
horrible case of allergy and had to enlist more of their help that planned.
Thanks guys.
The people at Europa are brilliant - no ifs or buts brilliant. Last but not
least Tricia - thanks love.
