Flight testing finished!

It took a little while due to some silly little things like my having dropped the bundy bushes out of one of the flaps in the test & trim again phase (which meant that it was really hard to land as the flaps are like flying brakes).  And wouldn't you know it that the only bolts I didn't tighten, because I thought they'd be coming out again, were the only bolts that weren't taken out 4 times in the course of testing, grrrr.

Anyway it's all finished now and flying well - apparently our fuselage is very straight (which I would like to take credit for, but can't honestly do so).  Gary who did the flight testing took me out as an observer for one of the flights, & we flew over the Welney bird hide, around Ely cathedral which somehow looks quite different from the air, and up to the Denver lock.  The system of canals around Norfolk is quite amazing, dug out around 1760 by a Dutchman, as before that the land was swampy.  I met a lovely couple on a sourdough bread making course at the Denver Windmill, Dov and Rebecca, who spend 4-5 months each year touring England on their narrowboat and who explained all about the canal system.

I have a couple of lovely photos of the windmill as seen past a barley field with poppies poking out amongst the grain, which I will add at some point I hope.  Apologies if I've gone all Denglish today, I've been working on places to go in Germany.
