I was en-route to the airport, when Michelle's mother Trish called to say that they had already arrived. So ten minutes later I said hello to them in the terminal building before heading outside to wake up the plane.
With the tanks filled up, the wings counted and a propeller detected at the front, I declared the aircraft ready for flight and put my two charges aboard.
We climbed out of Archerfield and turned west into a layer of cumulus cloud that would be our companion for most of the trip. About an hour and a half later we lined up for a straigh in approach on Runway 36 and landed without further ado.
Trish and Michelle bade me farewell as I headed back off to Archerfield.

This time I could spend most of my time above the layer of cumulus and only had to descend through it on the way into Archerfield, where I affected the second landing of the day on runway 10L at exactly sunset.
