Dartmoor Gliding News-Wednesday 27th January 2016

For the last 2 days we have had an American visitor. Unfortunately, it was the tail end of the “Storm of the Century” Jonas. Although not living up to the forecast doom and gloom, the 2 days of torrential rain has left the airfield as wet as it’s every been forcing us to find other tasks to occupy us.

Lucky Jorge Beasley managed to spend the day with CFI Don getting a lot of his ground schooling and preparation for the Bronze “C” exam completed.

Don and Jorg discussing circuit planning
Colin Boyd finished the minor adjustments to the K8 tailplane and elevator including painting to couple of patches of bare wood. The aircraft should be ready to fly again on Saturday.

The other item of interest today was the presence on the airfield of a team of fencing contractors. More details about this in next Saturday’s blog.


Contactors on the airfield.
