Looked and sounded great crossing Kittyhawk.
Couldn't you have done a few low passes - reckon it would have dried the strip for us!

With the owners permission I’d be delighted to Come and land. I just need to have a plan that doesn’t involve taxiing through narrow openings between trees!!

Today’s overfly was about 300ft, 90 knots on final approach to my helipad.

If we're discussing narrow openings between trees....

carlmeek - was that you flying NE to the SW of Gatwick (nr Haywards Heath) on Wednesday late morning? Whoever it was it made a lovely noise

Sadly not, I didn’t brave the weather on Wednesday!

I’m hoping for a Sandown and a lee visit in the next few days if weather allows, and maybe even a trip down the Thames.

Going out for a buzz from the east, past Brighton seafront and into shoreham within the next hour.

Having had a few minutes trip in Carl's New Toy today, it's absolutely awesome! In superb condition too. Thanks Carl.

You are welcome! Caught a great photo today at KittyHawk.

Tomorrow I plan to do some sightseeing from the London Heli lanes, and perhaps pop into Rochester for fuel.
