  1. Fantastic to see 'Emily' again... I bought and flew G-BKVO from Martin Honeychurch (who built her) for many years and based her at Headcorn, and had many many happy hours flying over Kent and the south-east... I miss her!

  3. When Stella and Mike got married they used the
    Pietenpol as their wedding carriage.
