Swallows to be seen yesterday...
...summer maybe not entirely forgotten us!
And they make me envious. To move about the sky like that!
But they're eating the midges that are eating us while we build, and the hangar has a roofline, and the weather's forecast clearing for the weekend and Rhubarb fach may not be a swallow by any stretch of the imagination but she'll turn in her own length and throw her nose over and down into a max rate descent that makes the really rather conservative pitch limits feel like a Stuka impersonation and she'll ride so lightly-daintly over the grass with just me aboard at the minimum weight limit that I get the impression she's only humouring me by staying there...
So that's all right...
