Hi again everybody,
I apologise for not continuing with this thread as I should have done.
I am delighted to say I've had another full year full of Fournication, totalling thirty flying hours (so far) plus another seven odd in our Maule and seventeen in our Champ.
As usual, I have tried to show the grace, beauty, strength and versatility of my Fourniers to as many folk and in as many places as possible.
This year good old RedHawk has taken me to displays and fly-ins at Croft Farm, Defford,
Oaksey Park,
Duxford — for Flying Legends, where Wagon posed next to my buddy Pat's beautiful Lockheed 12 in which he had just flown the Atlantic.
Stoke Golding, Popham,
Goodwood,
Blackbushe,
East Kirkby
and Saltby for the CFI Europe tour of Southern England and Ireland, Westfield Farm, Hailsham and Shoreham.
Actually, I've been pretty busy altogether, because this year I also did some serious sailing, visited Cape Town and reassembled our long-stored little Champ with her zero-timed engine.
All in just six months of course.
I hope that you, my worldwide Fournier friends, have had as much flying pleasure from your Fourniers this year as I have, and I look forward to reading about your adventures.
Yours, Bob
