Going Up in the World!

Back in December, when Richard handed me my birthday present, part of it was a flight in a light aircraft! Today was the day of the flight, what an experience it was too. Richard and I drove to the airfield, with Ginny, ready for the takeoff. Once seated safely in the plane and the all the preflight checks completed, we made our way along the grass runway and quickly rose into the air. It felt a bit like being in a car which suddenly was able to fly! The views over the countryside were spectacular and we flew for nearly an hour before an incredibly smooth landing back at the airfield. I have included several extra today including aerial views of both Highclere and Donnington Castle. Thank you Richard for an unforgettable birthday present, it was fantastic!
