DGS News Saturday 16th March 2013

Low cloud, very frequent showers, some thunder and hail made this a no flying day.

The assembled members got on with a breathtaking range of tasks.

Martin Smith worked on K7M G-BVB hoping to finish it’s C of A soon.

Rick Wiles and Victor England painted the Pirat wing after a group effort managed to start the ex Perranporth generator to power a couple of heaters to make the workshop suitable for painting duties.

Sandra replaced the floor tiles in the ladies toilet.

Does Sandra look safe with that craft knife? Really?
Another group effort saw the door locks on two of the Landrovers fixed – this has been an annoyance for their drivers for some time.

Colin Boyd worked the second quad bike with Ged and Rick. This bike has been gradually rebuilt from what can only be described as “scrap condition”. It now runs, the front end of the frame has been replaced, it sports a new exhaust and subject to a brake rebuilt and a couple of tyres it will be in service soon.

It even looks like a quad bike now.
All of this work was completed against the endless drone of a sander as Alan Carter continued with the refurbishment of the wings for his SF27

The loneliness of the long distance sander. Alan and SF27 wings
A productive day.
