Just after 3pm it it went into the sky.

The first thing you notice is the noise. It makes more noise just
taxiing down the runway than a commercial jet makes on lift off!

It then flew towards the house (the floor vibrated) and blew the fumes
from it's exhaust into the house as it made it's turn. It smelt like a
an old petrol engine with a manual choke that was too far out.

Awesome - but totally OT.

Fantastic effort by those attempting to keep it flying - I use to chip
in - but I fear it's just too expensive to keep it going for much
longer. As you say though, an awesome plane.
