With the fantastic win from Lando, we drift back to a trip from May, taking Caz not just flying, to Silverstone , but flying in the front seat for the first time. & yes I screw up a landing.

It's time for my SEP revalidation, so we fired up the Wayne & Jack Show flew the largest circuit possible - the M25, with a few shortcuts, pearls of aviation wisdom, and even a few jokes - why not join us

Weather still pants - I don't need IIR I need a miracle, but I still managed to drag wife to the FLT Easter egg hunt, where she won a prize for the best decorated Cookie!!

Not everyday you get to fly a C172 this area - can you guess where we are?

Finally back in the air, but with new toys in the cockpit, I try to unflatten my rusty landings and master the glideless flapless approach - does it all go to plan?

Flying to blow off the cobwebs. Someone was NOT happy to see us. something about 'get off my grass/astroturf'

Last landings as the sun goes down at Elstree on 08. Many thanks to the Tower team who swapped runways due to the sun. For some reason I prefer 08. Many thanks to ThemeParkScreamers for the video.

Flying season has started. Can you guess where I went? Ed, one of my fellow owners flew there, I flew back - and yes I used the radio too!!! Video might be coming soon, assuming all the cameras worked.

Collected KK from Southend airport today for a Maintenance flight to our A&P. New avionics suite installed, but it raised a couple of issues so off to our engineers to sort. Interesting flying with minimal electronics - one radio and no DI. Great support from Southend ATC

Working on an edit for a longer trip to Leeds which was never published, but there is an issue - editing with a mouse is quite normal… But how do I edit with a CAT!????
