Cheers both
The weekend certainly was a corker, I didn't want to come down. The traffic was ok, very busy on the radio in the Waddington zone though.

congratulations, were you allowed to use the main runway at Cambridge?
I flew Norwich-Cambridge-Ipswich-Norwich on my X country (July '86!) and was the first time that I had flown a 172 solo (always with pax in the back before) so I floated the entire length of Cambridge runway before it touched down...made up for it at Ipswich by just kissing the cranes at the docks and stopping before the intersection!
Wall-wall A10 Warthogs in those days, Bentwaters was paranoid after one knocked a Cessna down in '85

Nice one Neal !
It was perfect flying weather - so long as you had a heater.....or an enclosed cockpit
I had neither!! Still great flying weather though!!

Returned to Leicester to see a silver Chipmunk gleaming in the sunshine, good to see you again Janie. I wish I had my camera on me as you departed, the Chipmunk looked fantastic in that low sunlight.Thanks. Good to see you too. Sorry it was a "flying" visit and I didn't have time to chat longer. Racing the sunset certainly keeps the adrenaline going.
Folks - you should have seen the size of his smile after his QXC. I wish I had brought my camera to capture it in the low sunlight!
