Fly-in to Calais March 24th

After meeting you guys in Calais we pressed on to Guernsey for diner before flying home to Rotterdam. After all a nice flying day with generally good flying conditions. No ice experienced and a cloudbase generally at 3000 feet of higher.

Looking forward the next fly-in.

Conditions were much better than forecast. Two aircraft flew in and we had one drive in! Not to meet some people from the forum! Photo to follow.

We had myself, Aeroplus and Jan Olieslagers. A nice lunch even if Aeroplus sort of missed it!

I am afraid I bailed out. The forecast for low cloud, low temperatures, light snow and gusting winds up to 28kts, and the lack of any anti-icing at all kind of put the flight outside of my aircraft and perhaps pilot abilities. Shame :-( Maybe another time though :-)

500ft overcast and less than 0 degrees rules me out I'm afraid.

CAVOK at Lelystad but my co-pilot has called in sick so we are out :(

35 - 40kts wind would also have made it a very slow journey home.
