Dartmoor Gliding News-Wednesday 14th August 2019

Another band of rain and wind was forecast for today, so there was no decision to make and today was going to be a no flying day.

Phil Hardwick set about one of his favourite tasks and fired up the tractor to mow the south side of the airfield.

Following the recent entry on the forum the caravan was moved closer to the bus so that the items to be retained could be removed and stored in the bus. The heat exchanger, oven, hob and unit were removed.

Getting ready for action.
After the required items had been successfully removed the caravan was moved to it’s final resting place behind the trailers. With lump hammers, jemmy and a sledge hammer we set about gutting the caravan.

Not much left.
With everything out it was time to set about the shell. It wasn’t long before we were left with various piles of scrap to be further sorted and disposed of.

All done.
It was definitely a day where DGS did Top Gear proud and another caravan was definitely off the road for good.

Let’s hope for better weather soon.

Peter Howarth
