Thanks for the nice comments. My clever daughter Sera did it with a Sony Handicam, edited on Final Cut Pro.

The Em took us to Dunkerswell today, despite the best efforts of low cloud between Weston and Bridgewater. Lovely day out, thanks Devon Strut and all the workers!

Great little film. Eight of us keep an Emeraude at Eggesford, G-BKFR, you may have seen it at the Dunk's rally recently.
I wondered what was under the lid of Emeraude G-BXFE as it leapt into the sky, later discovered it's a CAP ..... I want one!

I even like the music. Can you tell me who that was?

Incidentally, I'm looking at buying an a/c for farmstip use. Do you think the Emeraude suitable for a first time taildragger pilot?

The soundtrack Sera used is 'Eyes' by Rouge Wave.

G-AYTR was my first aircraft group ownership experience, just after I got my PPL in 2005. Very different to the Warriors I learned on, a really lovely aircraft to fly and grow with. I've made plenty of mistakes which the aircraft has handled beautifully. The more I fly, the more I appreciate her qualities.

Highly recommended.
