Piper L4 Grasshopper circa 1947

After a morning's duty as under gardener I couldn't wait to get out on Morrigan... straight out and down the road out of the village... hmm, she sounds quite loud today... 

Pulled over and phoned technical support, and she arrived after about twenty minutes... with my helmet. The balaclava might feel like you're wearing all the right kit, but, ahem. Thanks Janet.

Anyhow, drama avoided, I stopped off at AV8 near Cirencester. This chap wasn't going up, but a slightly newer Piper Super Cub nearby took to the air. I returned home on a far more solid machine... and a helmet.
