Forecast winds strong SSW and, although yesterdays continuous rain has passed through with the most recent (endless?) frontal system, showers were in the forecast and could clearly be seen from the airfield.

Initially, the plan was to fly with just one two seater so that Will Wilson could complete his general flying test. However, by the time that Rick and helpers had replaced the ML winch cables with some shiny new ones the weather had put paid to that plan. Better luck next time Will.

Chris Kaminski has been working on the Pirat's instrument panel. This will hopefully bring the end of it's extended period of maintenance a little closer.
Elsewhere, Colin Boyd was busy extending to cable retrieve trailer’s arms to ensure that cables will be laid on the grass either side of the track to reduce cable wear. Chris Kaminski was in the workshop continuing the replacing of the instrument panel on the Pirat. Don was passing on sage advice to those pilots with cross country aspiration, and discussing learning to fly with a couple of visitors.

The day finished in usual style with friendly banter in the clubhouse around the woodburner.
