Rod's Europa
19th February 2006

We were supposed to be off to Beccles, but after 2 or 3 hours of "it's going to get better later on", we gave up. Rod however, having assembled his Europa had to fly it. Diarmuid was hit by a flush of recklessness and asked to join him. Only one circuit, but they did fly which is more than the rest of us.

Rod checks Diarmuid's life insurance

Diarmuid checks his nails

It'll never fly

Power checks at 09

Lining up

Rolling

Airbourne!

Gear up

and away

Back again

Flare

Holding off

Almost down

Still almost down

And down

taxiing

Diarmuid lives another day
