FLIGHT TRAINING CONTINUATION

Early on the airfield this morning for intensive training in perfect conditions.
Firstly, re-supply runs. This involved taking off from the roof of Chicken HQ, flying 5 meters to refuel on meal worms. Did this 3 times in quick succession. Food always works in RAF training.

Had a free period and took a trip to see Chicken Squadron again, as I do everyday. Perhaps I can change over to their group when qualified. Will have to speak to their leader, Wing Commander Sid The Rapist.

Finished off this morning with altitude training, and broke my record, getting around 9 feet up in the cider producing plant.

Can't have a pilot that's afraid of heights can we...That would be Penguin Squadron for me. They are going the way of Dodo Squadron, sadly disbanded due to Government cuts.

Time for 40 winks.

FLIGHT TRAINING

FLIGHT COMMAND TRAINING DAY 4.

Damn and blast the weather.Too windy for trainee pilots this morning. 

Sometimes I wish I was born a penguin or a swan so I could be in the Navy. A bit of rough weather doesn't stop their days work. 

But after being thrown out of my home by my parents at such a young age, with no formal education, I was only going to join the RAF. Luckily when I was booted out the house I didn't land on my head, or being a Marine would have been the only option.

With no flying, I have returned to the mess, where the truly excellent chef put on a hearty breakfast of warm worms.

I shall now spend the morning cleaning my flying equipment whilst singing loudly.

Hopefully there will be flying this afternoon. Will keep you all informed.

Toodle pip!

CUTTING THE WHEAT

Always good to see the wheat being cut,

Frees up a lot of spaces for early

morning dog walks.

Luckily this field was cut in time as the

weather has turned very wet, with a 

couple of big thunder storms.

BIRD UPDATE.

3 weeks since we found this little one.

10 feeds a day of meal worms, and cat food.

Now he is close to flying.

We have had him in the back garden waiting for

that first flight.

He's nearly made it.

PET RESCUE

So there we were in the garden having a late night

glass or two, then Bella goes mental pawing at

the ground.

Went over, and this little starling had fallen out of his nest

in the ivy on the main garage.

I thought he was a goner.

Picked him up and he opened his beak for some grub.

Luckily we have mealworms for the chickens,

and he loves them.

24 hours later, he is singing away,

trying to jump out of his

makeshift nest.

Hoping we can see him through to

flying off.

BUGATTI TRIP

July 1st.

Feels like November.

Good day for a trip out in the Bugatti.

Jealous?

GEOFF VISITS

Geoff came out for a week.

We both knew him at Northwood,

and this was his 2nd visit.

Had several meals out over the week.

Pleneuf val Andre, St Cast, & Dinan,

were all visited. 

Some really low tides this week

as at at Quatre Vaux.
