Funny how some things work out! Thursday was forecast to be poor, but it turned out to be probably the best day of the year - sunny, not too windy and warmer than any previous days.

It also turned out to be MSH Flight Training's busiest day of the year with both aircraft and flights from early on until after 6pm.

The biggest achievement of the day is by Rob Noble-Warren. He took off in G-OCPC lunchtime and successfully flew his first solo flight.

This is quite an achievement: there are not that many people who have flown completely on their own solely in charge of the aircraft and Rob is to be congratulated! No matter how experienced a pilot may be, they will always remember fondly their first solo!

"It was fantastic" commented Rob, who also has the accolade of being MSH Flight Trainings's first student to be sent solo since the school started. Who will be next?
