Well I tried ....I was late getting to Elstree on Saturday afternoon so put
the IoW trip off until Sunday. Getting to the field on Sunday I realized
that the weather was not as had been predicted.
So did you have a good fly in to Sandown ? ...and what about the Thorney
Island event ?
Any one have any reports ?
Came back to Wickenby today but never above 1000ft again !
Well the thought was there !
