Flight notes
Every written entry, most recent at the top. The earliest one we kept is 24 September 2023. The flight cards themselves live in four ring binders in a cupboard at the hall we use over winter, and only the entries that needed explaining have been typed up here.

Entries are revised in place when a later season contradicts them, and the revision date in the table is the one that matters. Nothing is deleted. The standing rules for what goes in and what stays out are set out on thepage about how entries are written.
