An awesome Sunday, #flying and running a Bristol Hercules.

@MrJamesMay Technically because it was within the 30 minutes after sunset you don’t need a night rating and it wasn’t a total eclipse. Although it was a bit of an anticlimax, I was expecting it to get a bit darker.

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

Trying to capture the #solareclipse from the #sky turns out it’s quite difficult. #eclipse #solareclipse2026

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@Deltic1944 Unfortunately not. I’ll still be the same Casper the ghost shade I was in January.

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

Bit hot at the weekend. So some Landrovering with the windscreen down. There was quite a lot of shouting involved. #landrover #series1 #heatwave

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

Too #windy to fly so looking rather #windblown after a trip in #maverick instead. #classiccar #mgmidget

@DozraytheGrim @eyuphftv Hi Andy, I love sharing my passion and what I do so I’d love to chat more. I’d love to get more involved with TV work. My email is [email protected] if you would like to talk more there.

Took cubby #home to #devon for the weekend. Pretty bumpy in the afternoon but a perfect evening for some #formation #flying

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@Schnupperflug It’s l4. Piper cub

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@RichB62915879 @soave1000 Depends on the aircraft obviously but they have far superior cooling systems. The ww1 aircraft I’m involved with does tend to overheat though

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@RichB62915879 @soave1000 We fly these from farmstrips so we don’t have a long taxi. But we don’t tend to fly them above 30 degrees because the oil temp starts creeping up.

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@soave1000 Not too bad at the weekend. If it’s over 30 degrees the oil temp starts to creep up too much so we don’t normally fly them when it’s really hot

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@yourobins It’s been to a few but none booked at the moment

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

Finally cooled off a bit for a nice evening flight. Even to Maverick to meet cubby. #pipercub #mgmidget #mg

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

Lucky enough to fly to work yesterday in the #sunshine

#pipercub #flying #heatwave

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@DavidHansford1 It’s 1935. Not sure on the model but think it maybe a pd tourer as the bodywork is fairly unusual. It’s rotted pretty bad though so it’s going to become a special

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

The #austin7 is finally stripped back to the chassis. It’s time to start building it back up.

#classiccar #vintagecar

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

@zs_cmv Supercubs don’t actually fly as nice and this aircraft did actually serve during ww2 it would be a shame to mess around with it too much

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

Some #evening flying now that #summer is coming.

@GgAviation The Stampe is basically the Belgian version of the Tigermoth. It is supposed to have better handling but I’ve never flown one so I’m not sure.

[Ellie Carter @dragongirl94]

A weekend flying both the #Tigermoth and the #cub . It looks like #spring is finally here.
