Had a nice 35 minute flight today; nothing too adventurous, just loops and rolls at the western end of Marham airfield. Managed to cock my entry up on one, too slow and not committed so locked the controls, chopped the throttles and let things sort themselves out! I found the aircraft in company with a Harrier which had diverted in after a birdstrike - remembered to take some pictures this time though.
Spent the best part of 3 hours getting the Ellison carbuerettor off; it will be winging its way to America on monday for a refurbishment as there have always been issues with the engine 'bogging down'. Enough's enough so I hope to be flying the Nipper again in April. In the meantime I should be getting a couple of flights in the CAP soon and will of course keep flying my Shadow.
Clocks go forward soon; I can't wait!
