Today was always going to be difficult. The weather was not good. Low cloud, heavy showers, and, when the forecast clearance came the conditions would be best described as challenging. So not really surprising that there was no flying at Brentor today.

| The Pirat away for the weekend |
This does not mean that DGS pilots were not active though. Ged and Mike were away at the Interclub league competition at Keevil with their Open Cirrus. They were joined by Rick and Matt Wiles, Ray Swinfield and the club Pirat. Hopefully we will get a report on their exploits soon. Meanwhile Mike has been posting some photos on the DGS Facebook page.

Just to wet our appetites here is one of Mike's pictures from the ICL.
Ged landed the Open Cirrus in this pasture |
At the club, Mike Jardine, Dave Bourchier and Allan Holland were busy with a variety of tasks. The K8 has been reassembled and now requires the duplicate inspections from an inspector before going back into service.
Mike Stacey and his family run the farm adjacent to the airfield and are long term supporters of the club. Mike was one of the founder members of DGS and arrived today with a “telehoist” to help move the old winch engine from the hangar to the scrap metal skip. Many thanks Mike, your help is much appreciated. In case you are wondering, a telehoist looks like a very rugged, off road, fork lift.
Thanks everyone
Steve
