The few stalwarts who turned up got on with jobs around the airfield. Phil Hardwick and Steve Raine hooked up BVB on it’s trailer and then left bound for Dunkeswell and Ian Mitchell’s repair shop.
Dave Rippon filled the roller with water, and headed for the runway to work on rolling out the damaged areas. In the event, large areas were too firm to make much improvement but he worked hard on the softer areas. In fact, he was gone so long we wondered if we should form a search party.
Ged spent some time stripping off the parts we needed from the old red Discovery which was then towed to the scrap yard. The old Perranporth Landrover was collected by it’s new owners. With the money raised by the old Landrover and the scrap Discovery plus the sale of some Discovery parts, we have now purchased a “new” Discovery and will end up perhaps £150 up on the deal.
So, we turned this
Into this
Our Thanks to the Cornish Gliding Club for the Landrover which made this deal possible.
