BETH flies again...

After spending the past couple of months in the workshop, Beth returned to the air for the first time in two years. John Rogers and I took Beth up for her first flight and even managed some soaring, gaining a whopping 200ft! Eric took to the air again in her and said on his return: 'Finally, I got the spoiler/elevator co-ordination correct!'

'I think the winch is coming towards us too...'
'Have you checked the floor yet?'
'No, Keep smiling...'
