FLY 365 - Blois Microlight Show

THE day dawned "bright and not too breezy" for the 14 Lincs pilots who flew to France for the annual Blois microlight event, according to club member Anne Law.

She told LOOP, "At 0930 the planes were ready to take to the skies for the first leg of the journey. Routing via Fenland, Earls Colne and Southend, we met up with other members of the trip along the way, stopping off at Headcorn to refuel and file flight plans."

The group chose the shortest route across the Channel, from Folkestone to Cap Gris Nez, and arrived in Abbeville 90 minutes later.

"The following morning after waiting for the mist to clear, it was time to take to the air again. The first plan for the day was a bit of formation flying with seven Thrusters on the trip!"
On the return leg, it was back to Abbeville where the group stayed for two nights due to poor weather.

"Finally, a day later than planned and after around 15 hours of flying spread over four days the planes were safely tucked up in their hangars."
