We arrived at Sywell (me, Catherine and Richard) this morning arriving to see the view of some WW2 cars in the car park, and a massive field with small planes on the field. I felt excitement from the moment I stepped out of the car, with the sun shining too; it was a good start to the day.

We were put into groups, A, B, C and D to enable us to all get the opportunity to do different activities.  We all had a safety briefing which was very useful.   Throughout the day we did map reading, marshalling, tours on different planes/helicopters, alphabet, an egg contest and of course FLYING!  I sat in the only rocket car!!

Overall the day was well planned, and I think everyone enjoyed it.  It is not an everyday opportunity to be able to get an event like this to happen – especially free.
