Over 1200 miles in the mx5 this weekend, run the Loch Ness marathon, got home today to find out l made it in to the London marathon next year😁

@cathyshm If there's an offer of free food and drink there isn't much that will keep the Catalina crew away😆

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@sheepy1975 Last one in Europe, the other two have gone to the US.

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

Catalina open for viewings today at Duxford...come see inside the only flying example in Europe.

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@IndoPilot Mine's looking not too shabby

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

New car for the summer, my mechanic working hard.

Pour se rafraichir, rien de tel qu’une bonne baignade

Views from the Catalina during the displays at Czyzyny. Certainly different from displays in the UK.

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

Wonderful weekend in Krakow taking part in the Malopolski Piknik Lotniczy. Perhaps the oddest display zone, most of it was over city, with great views of the rooftops of the high rise flats

@cathyshm @StrikeDisplayUK @RAFTutorDisplay @GlosAirport @WestonAirFest @R5AirDisplays Shame we won't be there this year, but jetting of to foreign climes with the Catalina away in Poland

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

Excellent weekend at the Suffolk Trail Festival...80miles at the end...plus an extra one for the donut dash. Such a great event, many thanks to everyone involved #STF19

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

Guess l know what I'll be doing this weekend...a "little" bit of running at the Suffolk Trail Festival #STF19

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@IndoPilot That's nothing, should see it at Duxford, nose to tail jams😉

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

The benefits of fixed wing aircraft...the Catalina shows just what a versatile aircraft it is, amphibious patrol bomber AND great umbrella as the ground crew for @ChinookDisplay and @ApacheDisplay find out.

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@cathyshm @IndoPilot You're not that old @cathyshm...oh sorry, you meant the planes😛

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@IndoPilot Sorry Matt but you missed a scorcher today

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@cathyshm Catalina is heading to Roskilde later in the year, hopefully I'll be on crew and get to have a look around

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@Minuitmoins2 @V4Rose Such a wonderful aeroplane and such a great crew.

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

In the air, stop at Deauville for customs then on to Biscarrosse.

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

@cathyshm Just a couple of days, only three pilots doing training this time

[chrishodson.71 @71Chrishodson]

Au revoir Biscarrosse...time to head back to Duxford
