Welshpool Day-Trip.2nd October 2022.
There was an excellent turnout for the last official Take Flight Aviation fly-out of the year, with 18 pilots and guests in five aircraft taking full advantage of a warm early October day. Sadly the weather on the Isle of Wight, the original destination of choice, proved less than favourable, so Welshpool was selected as a scenic alternative assured of plenty of sunshine. It was an easy 50-minute flight over to Welshpool, and the team enjoyed some lovely views of the Welsh landscape once across the border. There was a busy flurry of arrivals, with most aircraft converging on the airfield within a 10-minute window. Once on the ground, the team all but took over the airfield cafe and spent a couple of hours eating, chatting and watching the helicopter activity going on right outside. Much to Mike's disappointment, the earlier arrivals managed to secure the last of the lasagne, which looked amazing! After the mandatory group photo with some of the aircraft, the pilots returned to their planes and enjoyed a calm flight back to Enstone in beautiful afternoon light. |
