With a very low cloud base and an increasing, blustery wind the flying programme was reluctantly cancelled after several inspections.
Was the day wasted. Not a bit of it.
Don led a well attended lecture stream throughout the morning. The clubhouse was really busy.
We welcomed 2 new members and one returning old member.
Phil the farmer repaired the tractors hydraulic systems ( busman’s holiday perhaps?).
John and David completed the review of all the aircraft logs and maintenance records. These must be the best kept records in the country. I think that the only further improvements might take the form of ironing the papers and polishing the paperclips.
We can also report the completion of the repairs to the ML winch. This probably demonstrates team working at it’s best. Alan Holland stripped the winch and diagnosed the fault. The somewhat obscure new parts and a supplier was located by Roger Green. The purchase and delivery of the new part was conducted by club Secretary Bob Jones with cheques from Treasurer Martin Cropper. Alan Holland assisted by David Bourchier and Barry Green completed the fitting of new parts and the reassembly. I have probably missed several names from this list. Many thanks to all those members who helped with this essential repair
