I've just looked at my GPS logbook. It took me twenty four minutes to fly between Henstridge and the strip at Lydeway (near Devizes) today. It would usually take a bit less, but with a nice bit of sunshine and my camera handy I took a few pictures along the way. It's amazing what you can see in 24 minutes...
OK, it's nothing like New England, but the autumnal gold is still dripping from the trees
Alfred's Tower, I have flown over it hundreds of times, I really must get around to visiting on foot one day
A few miles from Alfred's Tower is Longleat - Gorilla Island is top right
Cars queuing up to be re-modeled by monkeys. Longleat looked pretty busy, the combination of good weather and half term I guess.
Westbury's White Horse - the local cement factory provided an excellent landmark, but now that's closed the White Horse will have to do.
The pond in Devizes is called the Crammer, some say it's the origin of the Moonraker legend
Devizes Tennis club, but tucked away bottom left is the Wiltshire Police Helicopter
...and finally, Devizes Castle now divided into a few homes
It was a great day for flying, only wish I could have flown for longer...
