Bob Jones and I spent much of the day practicing with Don for our BI course tomorrow. We probably landed on every inch of the airfield whilst completing seemingly endless practice cable breaks. This continued until mid afternoon when we decided that the now 18 knot wind with 30 knot gusts suggested that discretion really is the better part of valour and we put the toys away and returned to the clubhouse for some additional practice using the simulator.
While all the fun was happening on the airfield, Martin and John continued to work on the aircraft – we owe a real debt of thanks to these two. Lots of people do lots of work for the club but this is exceptional.
On returning to the clubhouse we discovered that Gus, a friend of the club, had been on site, removed the tatty old awning and fitted a new permanent porch. to the clubhouse front. This will help a great deal when the weather is less than perfect. Winter BBQ’s anyone?
