The latest video is now out on my channel, with part two of the saga of our Avionics upgrades. As you might have guessed it didn't go to plan. This time I dig up the bodies and name names!!

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?

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!????
