Flying the Budgie

posted in: Countryside, Flying, Wales

A whizz[sic] around the block in my mate Pete’s flying pushchair – affectionately known at Welshpool as “The Budgie”. Cold, draughty, slow er… did I say cold? But the most fun you can have in a tiny 2 stroke aeroplane. Actually getting in the thing is an art-form in itself, but it’s a doddle to fly and is about as thirsty as a lawnmower.
