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.

 Having just had the same pleasure this week I know exactly how good you must feel. You beat us by 1 1/2 years.  Many many congratulations. The grin sems to last for quite a while – enjoy.

Thanks to all for your goodwill messages. The final test flight, with myself as observer, was conducted yesterday at Popham airfield and all went well.  

Paperwork will go to the LAA and the full permit should reach me  soon.   

The encouragement and support received from this forum, my inspector Alan Thorne, test pilot Dave Bosomworth and all friends and colleagues has been invaluable.  

I now look forward to a little coaching before that first solo in my own aircraft.
