As we crossed the channel, and back,a couple of weeks ago, we were eligible for the LAA’s certificate to commemorate Charles Rolls, first return channel crossing on 2 June 2010.
The certificate arrived today! I now have a certificate to say I flew on on the anniversary of the first flight of the Wright Brothers and this one as well. The only one I missed out on was the Bleriot crossing, but it was too windy that day!
LAA Charles Rolls Certificate
This blog is an on-line extension to the occasional diary I have been keeping of my flying for the last 8 years. It is not really written as though it is going to be read by anyone else, but as a reminder to me of the fun my wife and I have with our flying, and building our Rans S6 ES G-RTHS (affectionately known as HotelSierra) in 2008.
If the writing here gives you some idea of the fun that building and flying microlights can be, then it has been worthwhile. This has to be one of the cheapest ways of flying and still have the ability to fly reasonable distances.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog, which can only be described as an ongoing love story.

Local schools that I have found to be good. (there are other schools in the area, but I have not had personal experience of them)
