Saturday 21st January 2012

Strong westerly wind, very low cloudbase, drizzle – no flying then.

The club was very busy though with Vic ( with clean, mud free face – see Saturday 7th January 2012 ) and Martin painting the tailplane of DMX which is now ready to be used as soon as the weather clears. Father and son, Rick and Matt spent the day filling in potholes on the track using the club JCB which seems to be slowly dissolving year on year and would now look good on the set of Mad Max  Robin spent some time trying to tidy the wood store.

Meanwhile Alan Carter had his SF27 in the hangar making use of the club load cell to weigh his glider. Alan seems to be obsessed with weighing his glider; perhaps this has something to do with the work he did when he was in the RAF which, in part, included weighing VC10’s and Tornados.

Thanks to Ged for manning the instructor duty today – no easy on a non flying day.
