Lordy......... It Flew !

Finally got it all together, paperwork done and the first flight done.
 
We did 6 sorties yesterday, no real snags, flies straight, hot #4 cylinder but we can sort that.
 
Even managed a quick snap.

Congratulations.  I was sat behind the trainee controller when you were doing your transponder checks the other day; checked who's RV it was on G-INFO.

Thanks Mike,
 
I had a funny feeling that you might be lurking, however, as a consummate professional pilot, I didn't pry  Roll Eyes
 
Shame you aren't at Donny, if you could wave the extortionate landing fee, I would come down and fly with you.
 
Ditto for Liverpool of course.
 
'Twas a Grand Day Out, as Wallis would say !
 
CHT's sorted by a blank of ali over the oil cooler, so we continue towards getting a permit.
