We had to go into Earls Colne (yes again!!!) today to do some photos for pilot magazine for ian davies. Eric Hedges and 1 of his studants had beed interviewed for a report on night flying and deb was going try and get some photos. she got some nice ones of Eric in the robin and then when she tryed to take the ones of a walk round, and it started to rain - typical! We then went for a night flight in G-CCCN around the Earls Colne circuit to try and get some in flight photos - but it proved to be very difficult in the dark :-(. We took the red barron wth us for the experiance of flying in a robin 3000. Then it was time for a night flight of our own back to Elmsett and Deb tried again to get some pic’s of the approach :-). she’d do anything to get her name in print!! I did tell her that if she got me to pose in them it would have improved them!! Oh she’s got the look again - Dale would be so proud of her!!

Poor Ben - Back to school today while mattie doesnt go back untill monday - ohh that caused problems as you can imagine!! Debs had a ful working day today and i just had a day full of memories of flying and woundering if i’ll get to fly again?? i spent the day playing on the exam questions PC .. Ooh there are some hard questions on here - i think i need to study the books some more! i never relised that there was so much to do to get your PPL (private pilots licence) … Debs has still got so much to learn!!!!!!! I’m really glad that I didn’t have to go through an all that - but could just hitch a ride whenever i wanted spent some time looking through the flightstore catologe - hee hee could deb “pink landing pattern” that she wants but wished would not be her! think that she better get used to the fact shes never going to get one!! she dosnt need one anyway - shes got a D.I to use - it works just as well

Deb’s had a flying lesson today…she committed a terrible crime…she left me behind - this is how it’s going to be now? i gave her rocks when she got down on the ground, & she felt so bad that she forgot….Never mind Deb’s - i forgive you, cos you remebered all the other times…I can’t believe Deb’s & Bradley flew today, as the weather was awful!!! Bradley said that the gliders said that the cloud base was at 1000ft, which is ok to do circuits, so off they went….at 400ft, it was now for Bradley to utter “i have control”, to get them back to ground after 1 circuit….teach you not to take me plus snow was forecast today, but East Anglia never got it. Anyway not a good flying start to 2008 for Deb’s, she was hoping to leave the bad weather behind Let’s hope it’s better for next week - i’ll keep my paws crossed - i promise!!! Still can’t believe she went without me!!!

At least of got many pictures & memories of me & JB Cold day today at Earls colne, lots of flying going on, Deb’s didnt go in today, but i’m still hoping to fly 1 lesson with her tomorrow (if it doesn’t get snowed off) i have to spend 1 last day with Deb’s…shame i’m not there for her solo, but i guess it wouldn’t be a solo if i’m there to help her out…late night for Deb’s tonight cos she has to work at Earls colne after Baxter’s, good job i’m there to keep her company
Deb’s remembered to send of some pictures of the Dakota formation we did in October…John(pilot) was pleased to get them & sent some back, wonder if there were any of me there
