Sunday 12th June 2011

Even lower clouds and driving rain.

After the post-Culdrose party, what better way to start the day than with the Big Brentor Breakfast to line the stomach and lift the spirits! Shame Bibendum Puttock forgot the fresh sage; we're going to lose a Michelin star if it happens again.

Parts refreshed, Chris Kaminski & Martin Smith did some more maintenance work on the Zugvogel & Pirat. I started on the Great ML Paint Job and Don worked on a "speed to fly" presentation for the future edification of cross-country pilots.

Flaming June with the emphasis on the flaming!

In case you are wondering, the name 'Bibendum' comes from an ode by the poet Horace (1st Century BC), celebrating Octavian's victory over Antony and Cleopatra.

The Latin phrase "Nunc Est Bibendum," means "Now is the time to drink (or celebrate)".
 
Today "Bibendum" is associated with Michelin standard dining.
