After waiting nearly four months since completing the rebuild of my Tempest 11,I finally got to fly it yesterday at Dishforth airfield. Firstly,it was a wonderful day 19c, 5mph wind,and the Tempest flew [ fantabulous].
I can now say that I have flown a radial powered HOT-SHOT warbird in my 81st year.Beat that Ozy.
ps. see you all at Longhorsley on Friday.

Bloody well done Brian. What a massive hit for us oldies. The younger members will only be able to appreciate in full what an achievement that is when they get there.

Wel done Brian,
In answer to your question " what did you fly this weekend " I had a weekend in Anglesey and i spent part of the weekend flying a gennaker. Not quite what you ment i'm sure, but it did make me feel about 80.
