Saturday a quick 1h local fitted between family stuff.
Sunday we went to Diggerland where you can drive tractors and dig with excavators 🚜 We drove, but it’s a 20 minute taxi from Exeter EGTE or Dunkeswell EGTU if anyone wants to visit by air.
Beautiful pics, Dan! Here’s the view I had this weekend. Trying to isolate because the little woman got exposed to Covid earlier in the week – thankfully it seems we didn’t get it.

Beautiful field @Buckerfan (and surely with not many administrative restrictions for sunset flights) ! Very jealous.
Absolutely do agree!
Good stuff guys, keep ’em coming

So you’re isolating in the tail of your mighty ride? Impressive, though it ain’t lookin’ too comfy 
Nothing much for me, the wx is totally crap.
Only flight in the last week was on Thursday, a trip to Gloucester in between CBs to collect some tyres I bought from Stjohn who runs Electroflight.
Big scary cloud…
GCHQ, where they keep the aliens:
Final on 22 at Gloucester.
The Nemesis at Electroflight which made a speed record for electric aircraft at 300kts. Currently being packed up to go to a museum
Dodging big scary clouds on the way back I flew over Fairford
My new home base:
The big scary cloud in the 1st picture ended up routing just past home base, so I had to skirt around and made it on the ground just in time.
Today I cut open the oil filter as a final sanity check that my engine isn’t making chunks of metal prior to ordering a new constant speed prop. Good news that the oil is clean, bad news for my bank balance.

Great stuff, jealous of those “non slatted” S-models :)

How do you keep the choke pulled while burping the prop?

I use ca 2cm of hose (cut open) and insert it on the pulled-out choke button..
