Top Gun Bradley and his wind

Off to the flying club today - Hello Guys! Oooh - surprise for me… a prospective girl friend sitting on the counter :-) She wouldn’t tell me her name (it’s all part of a competition to win her) But she’s ever so nice… must persuade Nigel to buy lots of tickets so we have a chance… I’d like a nice girlfriend bear to keep me company :-) Well it was the day I was dreading as Debs had a lesson to do stalls… Ooooh Noooo! I really thought we wouldn’t go as it was rather windy, but “Top Gun Bradley” had other ideas (I’m sure there’s a display pilot in there trying to get out!!) We took off and were into the wind immediately - ooooh!! I had to sit through 9 stalls - hmmm ! Actually Debs was OK and I didn’t even have to close my eyes once :-), but she did keep checking that her straps were tight! They also kept talking about HASELL… funny people these pilots :-) All too soon it was time for the landing and “Top Gun Bradley”… Oooh it was windy - never thought we’d make the runway - but  “never fear - Bradley’s here” made a perfect touch down… sure he wants another go in the Yak :-)
