Up to Cambridge




The first night in London was so hot, Guy had a bath in Diane's kitchen sink to cool off. The next day Jack had to get away early to drive up to Cambridge for a meeting with De Havilland Support. They were having a quarterly meeting with their UK CAA to discuss any problems with the Tiger Moth, Dragon, Beagle and Dove range of aircraft, so Jack took the opportunity to get some advice on a problem with the main wing attachments on the Dove. Katrina and Guy came up on the train and spent the night. The next day we looked around the lovely historic universities. In the afternoon we visited Duxford aircraft museum, guided by one of the very hospitable engineers from De Havilland's. A highlight for both Katrina and I was going aboard the Concorde, the wiggly man enjoyed it too, but he was all tired out by the time we got to the awesome Hall of American Aircraft.
