On Saturday, 914 powered XS, G-IRON took to the sky for the first time
following a major rebuild in the capable hands of owner Terry Clark.
In blistering sunshine and slack wind, G-IRON left the Fairoaks runway
at 14.30 for a faultless one-hour sortie.
The second flight with your trusty scribe onboard to log flight
parameters lasted one hour and forty minutes.
The plane is beautifully balanced and flies hands-off straight and level.
G-IRON has been built to a very high standard by Terry and Ian Rickard
and is a credit to them both (pictured below).
