Well, so much has been happening lately it has been a challenge to get to the computer and update the blog!
To start with, we have been able to do night training for a number of (good weather) nights at Newquay. Congratulations to Douglas Earl and Kai Kay who have now qualified as night pilots this month. Not for them having to land before nightfall whilst Jeremy Clarkson drives on through the night!!*
We would like to thank ATC (air traffic control) in Newquay for being so helpful with this as well as Sarah, Andy and Joy in Weston Aviation who handled it all for us and made it all work smoothly.
When we went to recover the aircraft during the day we were also able to arrange a visit to ATC, where we were able to see the control room, radar room and the modern kit they have. Pictured is Kai Kay and PPL student Shannon Hassett.
(*If you didn't know this referred to the Top Gear challenge when the Bugatti Veryon won over the Cessna because James May as pilot had to land early as he had run out of daylight).
