Yep, after being on site for only a week the Prefect has landed out! Our intrepid OC launched into a booming sky ( just look at the photo!) After visiting Castle Coombe ( maybe the Prefect had designs on chasing the Pucklechurch Viking !!!) the conditions weren’t kind for the return. A text book field landing was carried out near Stanton Manor ironically on an old aircraft dispersal near the motorway that the locals call the Runway!!
The logsheets show Dave landing at 1200, the MK111 then had to be taken off the trailer, drive to the field, de-rig and load the Prefect, drive back to the launchpoint, re-rig with the next launch taking place at 1420 – not bad going!!
