Thats very well , but I doubt she'll be going up for a test flight at the airshow .
The CAA take a very dim view on such events .
But I wouldn't rule out a trundle down the runway ;)

Heres this weeks email ;)
Project Update

A CAA inspector will be coming out to Kemble on Tuesday the 14th June on what is expected to be a final inspection visit, the group is confident/ hopeful that approval for flight tests will quickly follow. They still haven't got the AAN and they can't book the test pilots until they do have this document.

They are hopeful of possible first flight toward the end of next week, I'll share any more news as its passed onto me. It's been a long wait, hang on in their everyone. I have a few important events next week but have been warned that there may be very short notice of first flight and with the weather having deteriorated lately this may be a factor but hopefully not.

Regards
