The highlight of Martins holiday started at the welcome meeting. His eyes lit up at the mention of microlighting. "I'd like to do that" was the comment. "I wouldn't" was the reply. So, as an early Christmas present, he was booked in to fly at 4:30 the next Friday afternoon.

At 4:15 we watched him amble down the drive from our apartments, not sure whether he was chain-smoking or not, and under strict instructions NOT TO LET GO AT ANY TIME. To ensure that he didn't just nip to a local bar for an hour, we asked him to perform a barrel roll over the apartments. (Later we were told that slow spirals were the order of the day - not aerobatics). Some 30 minutes later, the Birdman of Hisaronu was spotted by Sally.
