Bernay for refuel and repairs

Took off ok from Le Mans, and when I went to call back to the tower to tell them I was leaving their zone, I found that my radio was completely dead and powerless.

Fiddled with it a bit but nothing doing.

After 75 miles as planned I landed at Bernay to tip my jerry can into the fuel tank. Very little happening at Bernay but I was able to quickly find the problem as being a blown fuse.
And would you believe it, I had spare fuses, but not one of the right size!

Fortunately I found two people fiddling with an aircraft in a hanger and they were able to sort me out with a replacement fusible. Merci beaucoup.
