With low cloud over the airfield and drizzle in the air which was forecast to
hang around until late afternoon, it was a day to muck in with the outstanding
jobs. First up was the damaged fence to the south of the hangar. Mike, Hugh and
myself set about replacing damaged fence poles and securing the fencing to them.
We were joined part way through the task by John.

Meanwhile in the hangar Colin progressed the C of A on DMX. After refitting
and testing the instruments attention switched to the tail wheel. Hugh and
Malcolm went about removing the wheel, cleaning and greasing and then refitting
with the correct spacers to ensure good clearance all around.

Meanwhile I gave the two seats a coat of paint to help improve the look of
the cockpit.

Allan Holland set about sorting the bushes for the control columns ready for
refitting.

Steve Fletcher and Richard Roberts continued tidying up the clubhouse,
particularly the office. Phil Hardwick spent most of the morning mowing the
airfield. Thank you to all who turned up and tackled some of the many tasks at
the club.
