At least Carolyn is okay. Lets hope that 407 is back in the skies soon.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Not been a good year for Tr.9 owners so far this year has it? That's the second one to have a bit of a bump. Glad Carolyn is OK and I hope she gets ML407 flying again soon.

Indeed not. That's three this year if you include this one in Texas. http://www.fencecheck.com/forums/index.php/topic,11938.msg186240.html#msg186240

I think that goes for all of us. The runway at Old Warden has had a lot of water on it this season. That's the problem with those lovely grass airfields.

As an update, ML407 now appears very airworthy again, seeing as it's back at Duxford...

In fact it flew out of OW on June 14th. :)
