As I sat contemplating today’s blog, a couple of statistics interested me. Firstly, this is the 400th blog post and secondly, there have been approximately 35000 page views. So, thanks to all the contributors and readers.
The forecast today was for a cold front arriving about midday bringing rain and gusty winds. In the event the front arrived at 10:30am while we were halfway down the runway towing the K13 out for the first launch. A nifty about turn saw us return to the hangar before we got really wet.
So, on with the other tasks of the day. Matthew Wiles once again showed off his welding skills by repairing one of the vertical rollers on the Guslaunch winch. Remarkable skills, learned at school apparently.

On the aircraft front. Alan Carter covered and painted the first couple of coats on the Pirat wing centre section. Martin Smith sorted out the wear and tear on G-DBVB’s undercarriage and John Bolt completed the ARC renewal on Bob and Ged’s Open Cirrus.

Martin, Sandra and Karon then disappeared off to Perranporth to collect the final donations from the defunct Cornish Gliding Club, namely two caravans. One is intended as additional crew accommodation at the launch point and the other has a loftier future as a potential marketing tool.
With Spring definitely on the way ( lighter evenings, snow drops in the hedgerows, busy songbirds in the gardens), the weather MUST improve soon ( mustn't it?).
