What can one say.......
This photo was taken in May 2009...... what a happy day that was, Gavan was like a kid in a toy shop, he bought a light sports plane....... when he was 65yrs he learned to fly, something he always wanted to do but like all dreams would probably never happen but his dream came true.
Here he is on one of his getaways with a mate, looking very pleased with himself I think.
We leased the plane to a flying school for teaching and also for private hire but we were able to take it when ever we chose so it was a win win situation.
We made quite a few trips mostly day trips for coffee, whale watching and visiting friends. I was a bit apprehensive at first but as I got used to our little flying trips.... all was good.
Well how things can change, on my birthday the 9th of this month we got a call from the school that the plane had been hired out and had just crashed, fortunately no-one was injured but we can't say the same thing for the plane.
Its the little white dot on the ground just to the right of the road.
Here she is back at the hanger.
So that's that I guess, we were insured so that part is good but its very disappointing to see our baby in this state. The best part is of course that on-one was injured and we weren't in it either.
This year is certainly ending with a bang sadly.....one we could do without.
QUE SERA SERA.........
