Spotting Elmsett

20/04/2007 by Pudsey.

Well Nigel and Debs departed early in the Yak coz Debs had to get to work and then Nigel and the Yak came back! The Yak is spending the week at Anglia flight while Nigel, Debs, Ben and Mattie head out to Malaga for the week… and they’re leaving me behind The Yak is spending the week at AF so that Dale can use it to photograph the Lancaster (BBMF) in it’s new colour scheme - “The Phantom of the Ruhr”… and it’s also got to have a wash and polish up… Dale is convinced Nigel doesn’t look after it properly!! Nigel hitched a lift back to Elmsett in the Ca50 with Martin Cadman (he’s an old Hurricane pilot!)… so I went along for the ride too - well it’s been a while since I’ve seen Elmsett… I’m turning into a “norfolk boyy”!! I also then accompanied Martin back to Norwich after saying goodbye to Nigel…  Well, he needed a good co-pilot I enjoyed the trip from Elmsett back to Norwich - a nice easy one to navigate with the A140 and of course the coast (love flying in East Anglia!!)… Think I’m almost ready for my navigation exams!!
