The Robin DR400 at the fuel pump at Blackpool Airport.
Bang on the mark if I do say so myself (and never repeated since!)

They look great. Do you travel far in them Choppa?

The vast majority of flights are within the UK. In order to go to anywhere else (e.g. France, Isle of Man, Channel Islands) we have to fill in a heap of forms and submit them for scrutiny before we start the trip. Although I have personally only flown to England, Wales & Scotland, I do most of my flying with a chap who has been all over Europe in similar aircraft. We are hoping to do a French trip this summer and sample the local "delicacies". Obviously, this will mean an overnight stay since alcohol and aircraft definitely do not mix. ::)

Oh I completely understand...it would be rude not to taste all the local fare  :whistle
