Wednesday instructor Bob was on sick leave today. Get well soon Bob.

This was not really going to make much difference today as the airfield was just too wet to fly after the tremendous storms Monday night / Tuesday morning. We did have a chance to check for damage and luckily apart from the huge pools of standing water on the runway and the stones wash down the track onto the hangar apron ( again ), all is well.

The hangar apron was soon sorted out by David Rippon  and Steve Raines who must have removed about a dozen loads of gravel in the wheel barrow. Thanks chaps.

Phil “the farmer” and Ged spent their time repairing the JCB and then using it to repair part of the track on the runway until it blew another hydraulic hose. Time for more spanner work chaps?

The simulator was well used with some cross county / soaring practice followed by spinning training followed by mountain flying in Lithuania.

Some good weather please !!!

Steve
