December 2024

I WON’T mention Sproutfest, the annual celebration of the birth of Santa, because it’s a well-known fact that every time someone utters the C word before 1 December, an elf kills a baby reindeer.

However, while all the shops have taken down their pumpkins and immediately hung up woolly Rudolph jumpers, and normal people are frantically trying to work out what to buy for a significant other who already has everything, you lot have been putting on your flying jackets, or in the case of flexwing pilots, smearing yourselves all over with goose fat, and going flugelling, and here’s the result: 11 fabulous photos, all the way from local bimbles to Eddie McCallum heading to the North Cape in Norway.

Eddie, we hope you make it home in time to get the sprouts on; and for you flexwing heroes, don’t waste that goose fat. It’s really useful for roast potatoes. You’re welcome.
