20/21 April 2024 saw us at Yeovilton for our Annual Standards Weekend. We were blessed on Saturday with probably the nicest day of the year so far. The result was that all 14 aircraft and 19 flyers who'd booked in, plus those who arrived by road were able to attend the event. After the essential coffee and a biscuit (or two) in the Navy Wings building there were briefings on Airspace and Radio, followed by How to Cope with Partial Power Failure, plus a bit of merchandise selling by the SP. We're now all proud owners of a Sqn baseball cap! We then flew to Kemble for an afternoon coffee, where we practised joining a manically busy airfield, before returning to Yeovilton for a very pleasant evening meal and social at The Podimore Inn. Departures were on Sunday morning. All in all, a top weekend.
The 'team' outside Navy Wings. Something very unusual happened for us this year- clear blue skies.

Serious stuff!
