We thought the game was up! In hot pursuit of Operation Pegasus, the Flying Squad appeared! In an unmarked car and plain clothes the hunt was on for aerial illegal immigrants. Thankfully, the silken tongued Martin Smith managed to dissuade Devon and Cornwall’s finest from searching the trailer park for visa free tourists, and even managed to charm some bone china mugs and leaflets from her! So if you see them around the clubhouse you’ll know that Operation Pegasus is what it’s about!
That was in the short interval when it wasn’t dancing down with rain – so today’s ‘Sunday Soarers’, safe from having their collars felt, devoted themselves to earthbound tasks such as scraping the mud (no Moroccans – just mud, lots of it), out of the K-8’s skid and re-fixing the skirt with 26 sundry screws.

They also attempted to repair the cable trailer, however the ‘punctured’ tyre, on examination, bore greater resemblance to an art teacher’s jacket elbow than a moulded hoop of latex for road use, however, a search of the ‘South East Asia’ quarter yielded up a replacement tyre, which hopefully will be fitted in time for Wednesday’s leathernecks to take to the skies in the (now greatly lightened) K-8.
