Test flight by Authentic DeHavilland  test pilot Desmond Penrose Desmond came all the way from England to see this aeroplane.   His smile indicates that the unexpected test went well
   
Now some serious flying.   Off to OSHKOSH 07 First stop for some (a lot) gasoline and a bit of water
   
Pictures of the repairs to the generator, water pump and re-repair of the starter seem to have been forgotten

The 4 hour trip was made in 4 flights

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Friday

It starts easy  if  the starter would work  
   
Finally made it to OSH Well received
   
If you believed that,  well then..................... On the way home
   
 4 hours in 3 flights on the SAME day to get home. 

 Now if I can land it one more time.

It's Never the same...
