Saturday 25th June 2011

Very low cloud to start and the church enveloped. The winds westerly and moderate to start.

The morning started with Martin and his band of volunteers working on the aircraft and hangar. Loads of very good work done here and the K8 very much nearer going back on line.

Other work being done today included the rear sun roof repaired on the Disco by Scratch and Mike Jardine with an aluminium panel. It has been riveted in so it will not come off, whilst Rick, Matt and Simon worked on putting a new joystick and software onto the Simulator.

A lecture in the clubhouse filled the rest of the morning and then we went flying----with cloudbases at 400ft, it was launch failure practice for those who haven’t done it for a while.

Later cloudbases rose to a giddy 1100ft and Mike Jardine converted onto the Pirat. Cloudbases came back down again so the other conversions were deferred to another time.

Thanks everyone for keeping everything going.
