''Ring-ring...ring-ring....ring-ring....Hullo Cambridge Aero Club....Anfernee speaking''
''Hi there, I've got a 2pm slot booked and was wondering if you guys are flying today as it's very foggy down here in London ''
'' Well it looks marginal to be honest as it's foggy here as well but forecast to clear. Where are you?''
''I'm in Richmond so was wondering if I should make the trip up there (72 miles)''
'' Well we wont be able to make a call until probably half an hour before your slot so you will need to be nearby otherwise if conditions are good and you don't turn up you will forfeit the slot and be charged the cost (£125)''
'' mmmmm...OK...''
So this was my view for 3 hours today. 1.5 hours there....1.5 hours back and no flying.
£35 in petrol, £3.50 for a stale egg mayo sandwich, £1.10 for a mineral water, £2.50 for a pack of jelly babies and 70 pence for a Crunchie. Diet of champions.
