Just to say that' S*d's Law was in operation on Sunday. In the middle of the
best Wx the UK has seen for months, possibly years I got up at 3.30am in
Prestwick to find it raining & cloudbase at 300ft!! Couldn't take off
before 10.00am by which time it was too late to do anything except fly home
and watch the tennis.
Pity! The preliminary trials had suggested it was quite possible
for me to fly the 2550nm course at an average of 150kts with just two brief
refuelling stops, thus upstaging a Hawk Jet, a Mooney and a Beech Baron,
previous holders of the record for longest distance flown.
I had hoped that this would raise the flag for Europa, Permit aircraft and
Monos - the latter in response to someone who recently asked "What are
monos good for?" - I don't think a Trike could have hoped to do this!
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
