Was in Roger Mill's Classic RH seat once over the hills of Derbyshire, we noticed it was waving.
We cruised about for ten minutes, throttle closed, 100kts and going up. Silky smooth too.
You just need to understand the sky. One of the great pleasures in life. Especially later life !

Some great views yesterday approaching Welshpool over Church Stretton, Long Mynd and then west to the coast at Aberdovey. Turned back before Talybont - anyone landed there?
Look you though; there were hills, and clouds.
Been thinking about the stopping the prop discussion. Gliders also like the hills, threatening clouds and thermal weather. Things we power pilots all seem to shy away from.

Talybont used to be owned by Bill Wynn, one of our first Europa builders and
past Europa Club chairman (for many years).
There was always a welcome for Europa owners wanting to drop in for a cup of
tea and a chat.
Don't have his contact details any more but might be in Pooleys or the farm
strip guide.
Many in the Europa community knew Bill well and may still be in contact.
