11 year’s!! after delivery of the kit I have great pleasure to announce that my Europa G-CFMP had a successful first flight last evening, after a day’s testing, in the more than capable hands of Dave Bosomworth.
The long awaited weather window provided the opportunity for a day’s concentrated ground testing culminating in a first flight before the first showers returned and darkness descended.
David reported a great flight with no real snags.
The fun continued today at Popham.
I should like to thank my inspector Alan Thorne for his encouragement and assistance over the last 10 years.
There were certainly times when morale was low and I needed that little push to maintain the required effort to complete.
I have just had my first observer flight and have joined that exclusive band of pilots with that exclusive Europa grin – now recorded digitally for posterity.
More fun tomorrow.

Hi Mike,
Many congratulations on the success of your eleven year mission to go where no man has been before. Fortunately we can now modify that to read only a lucky few have been before. Europa euphoria. Well done.
Looking forward to seeing your ‘digital’ when available.
Happy flying
Pete

Hey Mike,
Congratulations!! It is a great feeling to fly a bird of this caliber and know that you built it yourself. You have very good reason to be proud. Beautiful craft. Have a lot of fun flying and forget the filling and sanding finally.
