A few good things happened today...
I went to Goodwood, which is just such a wonderful airfield and race circuit, it's like it's lost in the mists of time
I met Tom and the rest of the Classicflight crew and a nicer bunch of people you couldn't wish to meet. I mean where else would you find people that obsessed with 'Percival'
I spent a blissful half hour in the Rapide

Finally: There was no better way to arrive at Goodwood this morning, than to see the Rapide, gracing the skies above the Prentice.
Finally a sincere thanks to Tom for letting us know they were at Goodwood today and for making the event so laid back and personable.
