My effort for this month- getting airborne from RAF Scampton on 18th September for their flypast at The Great North Run in memory of Jon Egging, Red 4. His wife, Emma, was running in his memory and she was also announcing the setting up of the Jon Egging Trust to help underprivileged children the chance to fly.
