Flying from Le Mans to Deauville
We head north from Le Mans, with Redhill in our sights. We stop at Deauville for lunch and to clear customs.
Flying into Le Mans
Le Mans is best known for its sports car racing, but next to the race track is an aerodrome. We popped in there for an overnight stay, on our way back to the UK.
Video: High oil temperature
As we depart north from Carcassonne in the PA28, and climb to FL65, the oil temperature in the Piper Warrior’s engine peaks, causing me to consider my options.
