Dartmoor Gliding News - Saturday 21st December 2013

The monsoon style rain this week has left the airfield ( and everywhere else ) WET. The water was running down the track continuing it’s work creating it’s own canyon in the middle of the track. Today’s forecast threatened increasingly gusty winds, low cloud and more rain. In fact the rain held off.

Given the forecast and the proximity to Christmas it was not surprising that the airfield was quiet. Rick was doing some preventative maintenance on the generators and tidying the Guslaunch spares in the hangar. Chris and Karon arrived to remove the K10 trailer to a local engineer who is going to build a new chassis with all new draw bar and suspension parts and then refit the old trailers top half. There are probably several trailers that could use this treatment.

"We count them out..." One of our trailers is missing. No the K10 trailer is away for some much needed TLC
Mid afternoon the committee assembled to hold their final meeting of the year. Minutes from this will be available soon.
