Incidentally, she had totally forgotten that she had already done that one.
A similar thing happened when she booked a baloon flight for me. Cancellation after cancellation. Then the last one was cancelled only after we had all arrived at the launch site. Again, too much life squandered.

That translates pretty much to a single (extended) circuit. Plus the arse that is navigating the A14 between the A1 and M11. Twice. In a single day. An nobody to invoice for my time.
Then there's the fact that the old bird will only fly if the weather is perfect. If it is working.
Basically means giving up most of my summer weekends for the offchance of 'enjoying' 10 minutes of prop wash.
The £300(ish) would be much better invested in time in a Cessna Aerobat and/ or a weight shift microlight.
Mrs RS bought the voucher on December 5th. The small print (not brought to her attention at the time of purchase) says full refund only in first 14 days
I've sent off the initial, polite, email asking for a full refund.
In the meantime she's ordered some Olympic bumper plates as a partial replacement.
(which is what I said I wanted in the first place)

Oh, yes.
