Hi all

I went flying in the Chipmunk presently located at Te Kowhai. I did not take a camera on the flight but a friend did get some video footage of us flying. Flew over Hams and then did several touch and goes. Was awesome!!!

	The Auster should be recognised for what it is: a gentleman's aerial touring carriage and a nice aeroplane.

Did you go with Bill or JP? I had a sit in the front of the Chippie and found it way to small. They expected pilots to be short and skinny when they built them. Modern big fat fellas like me have to squeeze in or abandon ship....
