The moist westerly airflow continues. On the way to the airfield my initially optimistic mood was encouraged by the odd sunny tor in the distance. However, driving along Roborough Down I could not see the mast at North Hessary Tor. The local saying is that if you cannot see the mast, it’s raining ( and if you can see the mast, it’s about to rain ). So low cloud and drizzle looks to be the order of the day.

Despite this being a non flying day there was a lot of excitement. The club’s new K13 G-CHXP was assembled and is now ready to join the Club fleet. This excellent addition means that the all important training aircraft will be the 2 K13’s with K7M G-DCLT as the reserve aircraft. Fielding the 2x2 seaters required on most flying days will now be a lot less of an issue. To make packing the hangar a little easier for the time being, the Pirat was derigged a put into it’s trailer.

Often around the club there is a lot of work going on that just happens quietly in the background. A case in point is the club Christmas tree on display as part of a large charity event in St Eustacious church in Tavistock. This year the tree was erected and decorated by Annie Holland assisted by husband Allan. Many thanks both of you.
