Those of you who know me will be aware that I have a bit of a thing about seaplanes. Well, this week I've been up to something a little different. I've been with the Waterbird Project on Lake Windermere. The project was set up to create and fly a replica of Britain's first seaplane which flew for the first time on Windermere in 1911. The last couple of days have been the culmination of over ten years work on the part of the project team, which led to a successful first flight (several short "hops") of the replica yesterday, and then a much more successful and longer flight over the lake today. Well done to everybody involved!!
