Today at the Flying Club.

We were at our flying club today, we arrived at 10am, but soon after arriving we had to head home as Al, forgot an important part of the plane - The Wing Spar. Anyway so we headed home and made our way back to our club.

When we got there, we found two club members there, Malcome and Guss. We had a really good day. It's good meeting up with the guys and Guss is such a lovely guy. He's very friendly and supportive. Everyone loves Guss. Here's a few piccys.



This is Guss's Fokker E. III (Magnatilla) Landing. He often brings this and he also lets other club members fly this plane.

Here's Guss flying his plane while Al my hubby looks on.

Guss's plane in the air. We all love this one.

Depression

I've decided to do this post as I want to reach out to people who are suffering with depression. I myself have gone through depression, at this moment I am coming out of it, it's been a long dark lonely phase of my life. I believe it started in 2007, one thing seemed to happen one after another. In the end I just couldn't cope and my depression became full blown. I tried so hard to battle it on my own. When I first realised I was suffering with depression, my first reaction was panic, as I knew it meant something was wrong. I was supposed to be this strong loving wife to my husband and a strong and supportive loving mother to my children.

The biggest mistake I did to cope was to use alcohol. I used it to hide away from my problems. It was my way of shutting it out. Of course alcohol can make you feel good at the time, but it&#

Joe's First Flight.

Click the picture to see its full size. While we were at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, we were thrilled to find out they had tutor flights on offer. Our 12 year old son Joe, wants a career in the RAF as a pilot, and is also going to join the Air Cadets this summer. We want to do all we can to encourage him with his ambition and so we made sure he would get his chance to be in the sky. He often practices with Flight Sims, if you think that's easy, think again. It's not and basically it's a simulation of a real aircraft. The best thing of all was it was in one of Joe's (and one of all of our favourite planes) favourite planes, the Tiger Moth. We booked him a flight and at 12:45pm, he went for a 15 minute flight where he was able to take the controls in that time and fly it himself. He was so nervous, but also so excited. Here he was living out his dream. It was his first time in an Airplane and much more special that it was in a Tiger Moth. His dad and I were on t
