In the middle of the best Wx the UK has seen for months, possibly years I got up at 3.30am in Prestwick to find it raining & cloudbase at 300ft!! Couldn't take off before 10.00am by which time it was too late to do anything except fly home and watch the tennis. Pity! The preliminary trials had suggested it was quite possible for me to fly the 2550nm course at an average of 150kts with just two brief refuelling stops, thus upstaging a Hawk Jet, a Mooney and a Beech Baron, previous holders of the record for longest distance flown. I had hoped that this would raise the flag for Europa, Permit aircraft and Monos - the latter in response to someone who recently asked "What are monos good for?" - I don't think a Trike could have hoped to do this!

Sitting in the sunshine on the grass outside is fine but there appear to be no facilities (not so much as a chair!) when the cafe is shut. The firemen made us a very nice cuppa and told us the cafe is open Fiday, Saturday and other times at random. It would be worth checking that the with the tower when ringing for PPR that the cafe is open- apparently they tell by the smell of bacon cooking. We did warn them of a possible influx of Europas so perhaps they will make an extra effort! Enjoy the outing.
