Setting out for the airfield in torrential rain and under a glowering sky did not look very hopeful. How different from last Saturday’s excitement.
Several stalwarts arrived at the airfield with the intention of working through some of the myriad tasks essential to the smooth running of any gliding club.

So, the heavy roller was reassembled with new wood bearings and will be finished off when we have sourced the four very large bolts that were missing today. Allan Holland worked away on polishing the scratches on the K13 canopy. Colin Boyd continued with the new instrument panels for K7M G-GCLT which is nearly ready to join the club fleet.
The rest of us worked alongside aircraft inspector John Bolt to complete the C of A ( Certificate of Airworthiness – a bit like a car’s MOT ) and revalidate the ARC for the Zugvogel 3A G-CHKV. Thanks everyone.

So there we are. Not a day of epic flights and expeditions but rather a day made satisfying by a list of necessary jobs done well.
