How come I missed this? I must visit the Real Aviation board more often.

Thanks Pete & the rest of you for your good wishes. That flight is something I will remember for the rest of my days. It was an "Extra" special 60th birthday gift & not likely to be repeated unless I win the lottery. I finally have something new to boast about & bore the pants off anyone willing to listen .......... so beware..........!  Tongue Grin

PS,. I posted this in the Cafe yesterday but here it is again if you missed it. I'm the old fogey in the front. Refuelled & ready for take-off.

...

PPS. The aircraft is an Extra 300L, 2 seat version of the 300S. The guy in the back is Chris Carder, ex-Red Arrow, now senior instructor on the Slingsby Firefly at RAF Barkston Heath. Like many of his colleagues he displays the Extra in his spare time. He told me it will roll faster than the BAe Hawk.
