Flight Report: 10/10/09
Hi all, The weather yesterday evening was ideal for another flight from Ashton Court, so fly we did! Accompanying Paul as pilot and I were three first-timers: Laurence, Nur and Lucy. We flew right across Clifton Village, the University precinct, the city centre and Broadmead/Cabot Circus in beautiful evening sunshine; we four passengers all brought our cameras, so there are many lovely aerial photos of all the familiar places and landmarks! Following more or less the same path as Rhod's flight last week, we drifted roughly northeast out of the city, and once again landed just north of the M4, near Tormarton. The relatively fast ground wind made for an excellent drag landing which was enjoyed by all! The unbeatable views of the city meant that this was my favourite flight to date. Many thanks to Paul for piloting, and to Elaine and Bobby for retrieving. I've uploaded my best photos from the flight to the gallery, here. Cheers, Will BUHABS Secretary
