Judging by the photographs, participants on this excursion where myself (Rob), David, Jane, Nick, Pat, Jim, Steve M, and I am pretty certain that Lee and his girlfriend made up the numbers. The aircraft were GBXXK (172), GBNDO, GBXJM (both 152) and GBCDY (150 aerobat). I know David flew Juliet-Mike to Calais, as I was sitting next to him; Jane and Nick flew Delta-Oscar; neither Steve M or Pat are 172 pilots (correct me please if I am wrong), so they must have flown Delta-Yankee, and Lee would have flown Xray-Kilo with Jim, and his Lee's girlfriend in the back.

That sorted, I recall David climbing to some 5000ft to cross the channel while tuning the ADF to Capital Gold for entertainment (The Rolling Stones, Have you Seen Your Mother Baby). A stroll into town after landing revealed that ostensibly Calais is closed on Sundays. Fortunately the airfield restaurant was open and Jane speaks French.

So after coffee and Kit-Kat's back we went. Me flying Xray-Kilo and setting a course of zero degrees (360) instead of 330 and heading for Norway. Lee came to my rescue by gently suggesting (several times) that I look at the map on his GPS. 270 degrees to Dover and back on course.

Anyway, I had bought a new camera that week so some photos! Enjoy.
