Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains and tips) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "excellent shape".
- Comments... uneventful flight near the Red Sea.
- In RW, off to Bowness Park for a walk this morning, then back for this flight as Marg does some Christmas shopping with Lexy and then solo.  I think I'll kick of the next flight now... to my last stop in Africa!
