Feb 8th: Today was the long-awaited maiden flight of the Fockewulf 50 we bought Steve for Christmas. After Guy had harvested a field, Ralph turned up early this morning to mow a take-off/landing strip and the scene was set. Unfortunately Guy was busy harvesting and so his new Spitfire didn't have its maiden flight today. After some early technical problems all was ready. The flights were successful and the plane came home in one piece.
A hot day, temperatures here reaching 31 degrees, so we went for a swim in the afternoon. Finally at tea-time the breeze picked up and it felt a little more pleasant. At tea we had more potatoes and beans from the garden, and a gorgeous cappuccino cake that uses 4 eggs. I also harvested a kilo or so more rhubarb and the first tomato.
