Ian - Marco here. Going back to wave at the kid should be a mandatory requirement. Also I noticed a fire in the distance..... I remember MGC pilots being drawn to fires like flies to poop. I'm envious of your winter flying - it's minus 25 celcius on our side...
We are fortunate to have thermic and convergence in summer, ridge and wave in the winter and occasionally summer time too and almost unrestricted airspace. A hard runway and a good supply of tug pilots. 364 day a year operation, Have not tried to get a tow on Christmas day but I suspect some poor soul would do the honours if a couple of us wanted one! Fires are few and far between in the UK these days.
Oof! That looks like so much fun, that one!
4:50 Foxtrot Zulu. That'll be me then👍👍
