After almost a year the MKIII has been de-rigged awaiting transfer back to Keevil. In its place the lovely Prefect has returned. Last Friday saw the most people I have seen on an Historic Flight Friday flying which was excellent to see, with visitors from Keevil, 625, Hullavington Barracks and 621 past and present providing much banter at the launch point. Both the Sedbergh and Prefect were flying giving some of our visitors their first taste of open top gliding, with the rest of us getting re-aquainted with the Prefect. Shaun flew it for the first time in 30years!! and Rob Newbold also converted to it – his first ever single seater!!
