Dear Diary

Second day of our summer school. A man from British Aerospace came down to tell us about the history of flight.

After that we made a flying plane. We made it with wood and foam paper. It was called the Cygnet.

Mine didn’t go at first because the wings fell off, but after I fixed them with square wings it flew for 27 seconds. Louis a boy in our group flew for a record breaking 1.10 minutes.
