Le Touquet Bear with Keith & Heather

Bonjour Le Touquet – viva La France – we’re going foreign again today :-) We took Keith & Heather over to Le Touquet in the Robin … & Debs flew! I was amazed on the ground at Crowfield as she managed to taxi it really well – the grass must have made it easier :-) Nigel took off & then passed over the controls … it was a great flight & viz was good too … until we got to Boulogne where the mist was circling. Debs handed back to Nigel for a couple of orbits before landing at Le Touquet. We enjoyed lunch at our favourite restaurant, a walk along the beach & a mooch around the shops before departing for Crowfield. Again Nigel took off & Debs flew us home (& she even managed the radio too :-) ) The viz was even better & we could see England from over France it was brill … it made the years roll back & I could have been Douglas Bader returning to England in his Spitfire :-) But seeing as it was me – we rounded off the trip with some in-flight video of me – the Superstar bear!! :-)
