Mike Connell

Open

BMFA 155649

I should be discharged from hospital out patients on Friday 10th August. The hand looks good.

I look forward to seeing everyone again.

I have a Kappa 35 ready to go and it will probably be its maiden flight. My Stork will back it up. I am allowed to drive from today so

I have not been flying at all.  I have finished my Sopwith Pup which looks as if its going to be fun. A bit different from a glider.

You can if you wish now designate a helper when registering for the Towner. 

(Email whitstable.nick@outlook.com if you want to designate a helper but have already registered.)

Are you feeling that confident, or just want to miss the traffic at Dartford😃😃

Neither of those😁, but traffic is  a consideration going north of the river , especially after a late finish:yes:

I was just curios how the matrix would be drawn with a designated helper😕
