A typical summers day. Typical for this year anyway. Gale force winds, low cloud, drizzle and some longer periods of rain.
But it takes more than some inclement weather to deter the DGS members who turned up today eager to get on with some of the seemingly endless list of tasks required to operate and maintain the airfield and club.
Ged spent the whole day in the tractor cutting the grass. In fact he was missing for so long we almost sent out a search party for him. Sean and Rick were ensconced in the office, hunched over a laptop, auditing the club membership database.
Chris and David spent their day preparing the Ex Perranporth winch for it’s planned test. They had the engine running, checked out all the controls, and adjusted the drum selection mechanism. Interestingly, one of the discoveries made was that the engine had 4 more cylinders than the popular view. It does not have a V8 engine, it is a V12.
The weather forecast for Wednesday is looking a lot better.
