Light Wind and a cloud base of over 3,000ft today so all looked good for another lesson on Practice Forced Landings, as I drive down the single track road and just before I turn on to the dirt track that leads down to Chatteris Airfield I see a guy with a parachute walking towards the track, well this is new, I thought to myself, I stopped and gave him a lift back to the club, he had been trying out or learning with a new winged suit and got a bit off target!
As I walked to the clubhouse I saw a new aeroplane parked up, it had a long wingspan and turned out to be a Chevvron 2-32C 3 axis Microlight in for a check flight with Mike.

Just as Mike was about to turn onto final the Parachute plane called Clear Drop and we all left the circuit as is the agreement.

This time I was using constant aspect to fly down to a mark where I estimated I would need to be at 700ft to glide into the field. This combination seemed to be working well for me, let’s hope it continues!
Just before I left we had another visitor to the club in a recently recovered Skyranger, pictures below.

No idea if this will be seen, but just wanted to let you know how awesome it is to see pics of MYGN. I got my microlight PPL in this one in 97 when it was based at RAF Halton. Cracking memories!
Hi Mark, glad you found my site and a picture that had fond memories for you too. Yes, I read all the messages 😉
thanks
Adrian
