Yeap, that 2.50 launch woke me up in Cirencester. And at that time of night, with the air being so still and no other noise, the climb just seemed to go on forever!

Yep, woke me up with a start from next door! Awesome crackling and rumbling sound in the still air though. Quite unusual launch time. The other half wasn't best pleased 😂
