Blue sky, very cold and the wind was strong northerly.

We welcomed several crew members from HMS Vengeance who had arrived for a days adventure training. Unfortunately, the airfield was just too wet after the torrential rain of yesterday and the cross wind was out of limits for Air Experience flying. Better luck next time.

Work on the replacement engine for the Guslaunch winch seems to be nearing completion. The final bits and pieces were finished ahead of it’s planned installation in the winch Saturday next.

As the weather was conducive to a walk in the open air, the assembled members search the fields both sides of the runway looking for “lost” strops. A couple of strops were found and will be return to flight status shortly.

Strop hunting party in playful mood.

The lunch break was a very convivial affair with members airing their views on an eclectic mix of subjects.

DGS debating society.

Lets hope the field dries out soon.
