LAA magazine advert now published for vintage aircraft and engines/props etc for sale to finance flight to South Africa 

 Pre War Taylorcraft Only six thousand pounds  and a few propellors

Much stimulated in the Vale of Somerset to go on the lecture circuit and write 'that book' (s), even while holding a valid flying licence, I am now immediately available for film show talks, anywhere in the UK, to finance towards the flight, eventually to Cape Horn, as a Jeffrey Matthews has stolen it.

Bristol Balloon Festival

Cardiff airport fly-in this week end by L4 cub to count just how many Welsh policemen with guns have been allocated, this time, by the Chief Constable to protect his general public from their very own MAPPA level 3 category 3 victim!

Cub flight to Lundy, camping, via Bristol farmer's field to collect immersion suit and autogas, Compton Abbas, Dorset for cream tea and free landing and Eggesford, Devon, for more strawberry and cream teas and vintage aircraft fly-in.....so much for the diet for South Africa.
