15 October Almost airbourne. We struggled to airfield having to go all around Basingstoke ring Road as the M3 was closed Southbound due to a serious accident.  The wind by then had risen far too much for safe flying in AY and the forecast was apparently for it to get worse.  So after a coffee and natter to others who were also hoping to fly we went home via the local "Pick your own" and bought some pumpkins for Halloween
