Dankie Ebie

Grumpy (Fides) and I had a SPECTACULAR flight with your protege's Mikemat (Mike M) and Flying-I (Mark B) yesterday around the peninsula. Sadly Mark B needs some dual on checking that the memory card is inserted in his camera pre-flight :lol: but I think MikeMat has some good pictures.

Daai RAF vlieg lekker hoor!
