The forecast was for 18th June to be marginal because of winds but for 19th June to be perfect. It couldn&#8217;t have been more wrong. The 18th, which I&#8217;d rejected, was the perfect day whereas on the 19th half of the flight was over solid low-level cloud. I also arrived and left La Rochelle in rain.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned in the post of the flight, I made a video recording and as I also mentioned, although I&#8217;d wanted to record the whole flight, I only got an hour or so because the backup battery pack didn&#8217;t work. The video starts just before P\u00e9rigueux with the cloud bank in view on the horizon and ends still over cloud to the north-west of the military airfield at Cognac.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Destination La Rochelle\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e6AegOV0428?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I mentioned in some previous posts, after installing the new 8.33 kHz radio and transponder in 77ASY, my Savannah, I had to get the new equipment officially signed off.
