Women on the Wing

I’ve not been great at writing up our trips recently – too busy flying or enjoying myself to take photos, to be honest! We recently popped over to Coll (about 35mins from Oban in our Zenair) in perfect weather and

We had previously visited Oban airport a couple of times when touring in Scotland, most recently as a refuelling stop on our way to Colonsay. It’s always been friendly, welcoming and stunningly beautiful. We never dreamed it would end up

We both had itchy wings this Wednesday afternoon, having been unable to get up in the air at the weekend due to icing. We have been meaning to visit Lee-on-Solent (also known as Daedalus) airfield for a while now. Built
