Our Last Leg!

Today is our last leg home.  122 days on the road.  We have planed to arrive at Booker for 10am so we set off from Sywell just after 9-ish.  The Wx isn't great, typical we must be back in the UK!  Peter flies the last leg home and we make a little detour past my brothers house.  Dodging a few clouds and keeping the ground beneath us in sight we fly over familiar territory.  Booker comes into view, the end is in sight and brings with it mixed emotions. To the left of the field, the Motorway end we see a gathering of people, it looks as if my family and friends have turn out to greet us.  There is a hand made welcome sign and other banners welcoming us back. We make a couple of loops around the airfield a set DIGA down near our welcome party.  Rotors stopped we jump out and I am greeted by a beaming Maria.  We hug and kiss before I hug Mum and greet the rest of the family and Fiends.  It is a little bit of a teary reunion. After a few pictures Peter and I empty the Helicopter
