A Flying Visit to Cardiff!
On Sunday, John, Sam and Andy flew in the fabulous G-ODAK (P28B Dakota) from Wycombe down to meet our friends John & Clare at Cardiff flying club, which is located on the south side of the runway opposite the main international terminal at Cardiff airport, South Wales.
When we arrived at Cardiff flying club, John later told us, the nerdy contingent of "spotters" were apparently quite excited at the arrival of G-ODAK as it is painted in British Airways livery (I rent it from the British Airways Flying Club, you see)!
After landing, Sam waited with the plane-spotters while Clare, Big John, Little John and I flew for an hour around the lovely Gower Peninsular (we will have to wait until Clare figures out how to upload her photos to the web before I can show you this as I left my camera with Sam so he could join his nerdy mates taking snaps of all the jets at Cardiff..!)...
Then Sam, John and I flew back to Wycombe via Gloucestershire at 7,500 feet above sea level, which put us just slightly above the fluffy white cloud tops and above the haze in lovely clear blue skies: we could see for miles and miles and miles and miles...
It was a lovely day! Please take a look at the rest of the photos from our Sunday adventure, including some more of John in the Tiger Moth which he flew in before we left for Cardiff.
