Great weekend: Thanks to James for doing all the organising and to him and Rob for doing all the taxy ferrying.
The three meals were just fantastic and it was good to meet up with old friends and to meet some new friends.
Dave and I took a day out to visit a town not far from Bordeaux where I lived more than half a century ago: My old school now has a post office on the site and all that remained was a marble plaque!
Dave and I came back IFR at FL 80 and FL 100 and missed most of the weather: we had some excitement when on raising the gear on takeoff from Saucats we were met by a deafening Klaxon from the auto extend warner: Quick circuit to land and a phone call to engineer in UK diagnosed a faulty microswitch.
So we set off with the prospect of 5 hours klaxon blaring but fortunately the klaxon 'died' after 10 minutes.
We heard Jenny on the radio a couple of times but otherwise it was pretty quiet.
Great meeting : hope to go to many more before I hang up my cans.
