Today was planned to be a club flying day, i.e.. no training. In the event, the low cloud, the strong, gusty SW cross wind and all the other tasks around the airfield made it a non flying day.

We welcomed BGA Regional Technical Officer John Halford who normally flies at the Dorset Gliding Club. We held a meeting with John discussing the intricacies of the the paperwork associated with maintain aircraft in the post EASA era. This will help tremendously with the current project reviewing the aircraft paperwork. Our thanks to John for sharing his insight and obvious expertise.
The afternoon jobs undertaken included fitting the Launchmaster transmitter unit to the K8. This unit will transmit the aircraft’s speed to the winch thus ensuring more consistent launching. Our thanks for this unit goes to John Howe who provided the funding for it’s purchase.

Throughout the day, when not at meetings, Winchmaster Rick Wiles could be found with powered wire brush and spray gun giving the ML winch a much needed fresh coat of paint.
