Abbeville was the first leg of the European Championship and also JBTR's first flight to France.
To make it a bit of a weekend Cliff Hawkins, Race 200, put Jill and I up for the night on the Thursday after landing at Blackbushe. I suggested to Cliff to take Jill up on the flight to Goodwood on Friday so that she could see JBTR from the outside - she loved it.
