Rob! Well that brought you out into the open!!! How are you?
Cold, dank and miserable here. I guess we deserve with a Prime Minister who pushes for 'gay' weddings even though they don't want that.
Is he 'coming out' ????
Life has been up and down for me in more ways than one. Had a great time with Kingsley and Janice in Queensland.
What a bloody great big country it is!
Just prior to our departure, 5 days before, I had a very violent crash in the Corben. In fact it's no longer! Me too nearly.
In short I had a violent ninety degree gust picked me up at 75 feet after take off causing port wing to stall. It then dived straight in and cartwheeled across a ploughed field.
Bit battered and bloody but survived. Picked up a bit when I heard the fuel gushing out!
Anyway it's a write off and all gone so.....
I now own and am rebuilding the only Corben left in Europe. Should be ready in late spring.
I'm back working again for past 8 months at an Engineering Company nearby. Great fun.
Ladies wise all is well. Still have the present Mrs H. but also a lovely friend elsewhere. Got to be done!
Hope
Will update you with new Corben when it starts to come together. Nice to hear you are still on the Mother Ship Earth
Regards
Gerry

Hi Gerry,
Yes I'm still here. so sorry to hear about your prang, but very pleased you came out of the experience OK. Sounds like what you've done is dramatically increase the value of the Corben you have now, as it's now the only one left. A very cunning plan I say
We;ve had a great summer, day after day of blue sky. Most of the country has had no real rain for 2 months. great for the wine growers but some of the real farmers are starting to get a bit twitchy. Mind you I've never met a farmer who hasn't got something to moan about.
I'm glad that you liked Queensland. Aussie's OK, it's gets too bloody hot, has too many flies, 1000's of miles of boring landscape and it's full of bloody Aussies. But it's OK. You realise of course it's just a preview for Godszone. Some day you must get over here and I'll show you a truly wonderful place.
I'm still far too bloody busy to have too much fun at the moment. I'm doing a bit of motorbike riding but no flying. I've hardly used my boat all summer but actually the best boating weather is now and the next 6 weeks. Once I get a bit of business stuff out of the way I'll be getting some boat time in. Hoping to get to teh Uk in May sort of time. I'll let you know.
Good to touch base old mate. Stay safe
Rob
