It seems 5 minutes since we returned from China (where it also snowed & we experienced daytime temperatures of -5 degrees C). We had the most amazing time in Beijing - Wayne Osborne (Duncan's Dad) is writing an article for MHW about our trip which should hopefully appear sometime next year in the magazine. Definitely one to look out for.
The Chinese were very hospitable except for those gentlemen at Customs in Beijing airport who confiscated all our heli's on arrival - we didn't get them back until 48 hours later! All very exciting stuff! It just meant that we were able to do some sightseeing (Great Wall of China etc) on our first full day in China when the sun was still shining & before the temperatures plummeted.
Mark has been enjoying a week in Tenerife (lucky man) whilst the rest of us freeze here in Blighty! Maybe we'll get a white Christmas after all. At least the freezing temperatures have meant that the field is no longer muddy (just frozen) after the rain we've experienced over the last couple of weeks.
Apart from the inconvenience of having no flying field at the beginning of 2009, this year has been an incredibly busy one for Flyin' Fish & we'd like to wish all of our customers a wonderful stressfree Christmas (with lots of heli goodies in your stockings!) & we look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
NOTE: We will be closed from Dec. 25th - 27th inc. & again from Dec. 31st - January 4th inc.
