    They're a bit hazy as the windows are perspex and most of them are using the zoom. Weather was good though - no rain!!!

    Fantastic Sarah! I'm glad that you thought to take your camera along so that we all could enjoy the trip, I especially love the pictures of the shore and waves. You don't look daft at all, you look very professional. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

    The pilot even flew over my house for me! Can pick out the back garden on the pic as it's the only one in the row with a bare patch!!

    It was a wonderful experience. We carried 3 patients and flew the length of the county in no time! 40 min from Newquay to Scilly, but only 25 min back to Truro with a tail wind!!
