This is my first posting having been a regular reader of this forum over the last 5 / 6  years.  

Just to inform you that at 19:15hrs on Monday the 22nd June 2009, at Wombleton Airfield, North Yorkshire, G-SAMY (kit No: 221) left terra firma for the first time under the expert control of Ivan Shaw. On return to the ground he announced that she flew beautifully with no obvious vices.    

The build time is around 3.5 years, although I haven’t yet calculated the actual time.  

I was given a short flight after the initial flight and was speechless on how well she flew. I am still smiling several days after the initial flight. I can now understand all the comments on the forum from fellow Europa fliers who have described the same feelings as I am now feeling myself.   

My thanks go to John and Roger at Europa who introduced me to Neville Eyre who with Duncan, helped and advised throughout to achieve the high standard of completion. Without their advice and assistance the project would still be at a very early stage of the build.

Congratulations. I'd already heard from Neville that it flew perfectly first

time!

Congratulations, well done. I know how you feel, I have only recently had my baby fly and I'm still smiling

Congratulations Paul !

  

 I am sure you will have many hours of flying enjoyment in  the years to come.

  

 For the records, can you please let me know the engine and  propeller fitted, the empty weight and the build hours when you get around to  adding them up.

  

 Best regards

Hi! Paul Vallis   

Congratulations on the first flight of G-SAMY.  

So sorry I didn’t pass my message earlier ….I was out enjoying our Iberian Trip, suffering high temperatures as you have been in the UK , suffering the unbearable Spanish bureaucracy insisting on VAT numbers even for cash payments, what mutton heads they are. Never the less you will get to enjoy such trips earlier through the auspices of the Europa Club tours.  

BFN  

Reports and photo’s to follow .  

Regards  

Bob Harrison G-PTAG
