Teviotdale Kilt's Maiden Flight
First time out today in the new Teviotdale Kilt. Took Ann to the airport terminal for her lunch and later to the shops at the gateway shopping centre at Gretna Green. While at the airport I flew a radio navigation exercise with another pilot and an instructor (two flights as you do one as pilot and one looking on from the back seat).
Teviotdale Kilt beside the Warrior.
Soon we are climbing away from the airport.
Kilted in the back seat.
Rate one turn at four thousand feet.
Not much legroom in economy class 
The low afternoon sun provided some good cloud scapes.
A break in the clouds gives a brief glimpse of the Solway Coast near Gretna.
Lovely sunset looking west but it looks like a shower down below.

That tartan is smashing. I always enjoy the air photos too.

Wonderful shots, that Teviotdale kilt is very nice, and the view is breathtaking
thanks for letting us share in your maiden flight with your new kilt.

Great shots Alex. I just thought if Dee gets that much leg room over the pond we'll have to spend most of the weekend straightening out
