Special thanks to Martin C and girlfriend Tracey for helping us out and also to Robin at Beech Holme for loaning us one of their pilots. And apologies once again to the 6 Trekker&#8217;s stokers who put their names down for this ride but were unable to come due to our perennial pilot shortage problem. So if you&#8217;re reading this and would like to help us out in future &#8211; do please get in touch.
