| We are now well into the
foggy morning syndrome and Sunday was a good example of this. We
travelled along the Hogs Back wondering whether we were really doing a
sensible thing, later as we went past Odiham we could hardly see 100
yards in front of us. We plodded on and arrived at the airfield in
sunshine but that weird sunshine that you know once you get in the air
visibility will be very poor. We
had thought of visiting Stapleford who had a free landing voucher in the
Pilot magazine but clearly that was not an option. Flying around the
London zone is not good in bad visibility. So we did some aeroplane
maintenance. Those dead and a few live flies who lived in our landing
light cavity were released and the lights polished.
A quick telephone call to Brimpton
offered us a warm welcome, so we contacted our friends at White Waltham
and arranged to meet at Brimpton for tea. Our flight was a little
longer than normal as we did not fly direct, preferring to use roads,
the railway and canal as guiding points. We landed on 07 runway and
parked beside the clubhouse. Shortly after the familiar sound of the
Tiger Moth bringing our friends was heard.
We all chatted with the owner and other
flyers over a cup of tea putting the world to rights. |
