Flying in to old Sarum seeing friends on the way home the skydiving school has had a "malfunction" on a tandem jump the chute and the bag were lost. Flying Gordon on a search path it's found! The strings were tangled and not likely to open, they landed on the reserve and we found 2k worth chute! Interesting to chat to the Skydivers, "by the time a parachutist can tandem, they have so much experience they look forward to the odd ride on the reserve.." Oh!
Now the last flight home before an Early night in a soft bed..I leave after the airfield is closed and depart for a great if not direct flight home, PFL's for the day across the Salisbury Plain were my first of the day, miss two got one, not a good average and probably due to fatigue.
Approaching Southampton I am cleared for a route down Southampton water and a direct route home. Nill ish wind at Old Sarum turns into a ground speed of 104mph on the coast, into wind and Thorny and its 25mph on the deck, home bed and show, sleep I am so pleased to see an email from Brian who clearly enjoyed himself ;-)
