After the flight – it’s a big plane compared  to my little Pitts Special.

Just been for a fly in the Cessna 206 with Jan from Bankstown. Lovely clear winter’s day, about 17 degrees and sunny. Just did a short trip over the edge of the Blue Mountains and Warragamba Dam. I needed to fly to keep current for when I return from the UK trip – I have to fly every 90 days in this aircraft to keep current. It’s a six-seater plane but it’s hard to find other passengers at short notice so there was just the two of us.

Now we shall get busy sorting out the trip to England and Italy. We have found a good and kind house-sitter so the cats will not starve for food or affection (aaah!). Looking forward to some real English beer and some real Italian wine and food.
