Saturday 7th August 2010

Today started with the weather looking very unpromising, low cloud and showers.

Ged arrived with the new trailer for the launch hut on the back of a lorry and, as he had to get the lorry back ASAP, the job just had to be done irrespective of the weather. The launch hut was lifted by crane while the existing axles, draw bar and misc metal fittings were removed using a couple of large disk cutters, before being lowered onto the new trailer.

This was another demonstration of team working as Ged, Rick, Mathew, Colin, John, Guy and I worked through the rain to finish the job. Thanks everyone. Refurbishing and a new paint job next.

Later in the day the conditions improved and flying commenced with plenty of training flights and a little ridge soaring on Blackdown.

The day finished with barbeque, beer and tall stories in the clubhouse.
