Henstridge CFO Flyin
Here's a quick report on the Henstridge Cardinal Flyin, June 8, 2003:
On a blustery and stormy day in Somerset, seven Cardinal enthusiasts
gathered at the Henstridge Airfield.
Lou Miller and Colin Fisher had the cooperation of the airfield manager but
not the weather, as winds gusted to over 35 knots and the rare British
lightning sparked on the horizon. They had made the trip from their home
base of Blackbushe but metrological conditions literally put the damper on
much further activity. Frank and Mary Porath appeared, dressed in CFO
shirts, but arriving in a SAAB (automobile) from Nottingham, their 70FG left
behind in the USA.

Henstridge is, like many British airfields, originally a military base, in
this case used by the Fleet Air Arm for training of naval aviators. A
center section of the runway, the length of an aircraft carrier deck, is
reinforced for dry land practise, but on this day was not particularly dry.
Midafternoon, after a half-hour detour around the thunderstorms, Brian
Lowther, Richard Hadfield, and Didier Keller braved the winds and arrived
from Denham.
Both Cardinals were very well kitted out with dual GPS and other electronic
goodies, and admittedly looked rather smart parked side-by-side.
