We haven’t been out in Charlie for weeks.
Not long after our trip to Henstridge, Charlie had to go in for a major service, and he’s still there in the maintenance hangar waiting for some parts to come from the US. Like many imports at the moment, there’s been a delay – whether that’s due to Brexit, boats stuck in the Suez, the wrong paperwork, slowdown in manufacturing, lack of raw materials, lack of machinists, lack of drivers – who knows!
But I’ve not been sitting idle! Charlie’s been the inspiration for a children’s book which is due to be published next July.
Charlie and the Great Move will be the first in a series of books about Charlie Piper and his friends. This story sees him having to move from a dilapidated hangar to a brand new one, but there’s something lurking in the shadows of his new home….

In the meantime, I hope it won’t be too long before the real Charlie’s out and about again. We’re hoping to go to Husband’s Bosworth in December which will be a really interesting trip. We’ve not landed at a gliding club before, so it’ll be another first for us.
Update
The video on Kickstarter has been changed so please take another look and let me know what you think of the new version.
