After the brief respite that allowed some flying on Sunday, the continuing bands of rain and wind returned on Monday and Tuesday. This resulted in the north side quagmire being boggier and the skating rink on the south side had further caused that area to be even softer. So despite the sky being very inviting it was decided to declare a no flying day. But were the gathered members downhearted. No, it had been arranged for the Manatou to be brought to the airfield to continue with the erection of the steelwork for the new MT storage area.

We also lifted the cover onto one of the containers ready for it to be unfolded and pulled over the top of the steelwork.

Also in the hangar, Colin was busy with the C of A and ARC ably assisted by Steve and Malcolm. The bus project was also progressed under the direction of John Smith with Hugh assisting.
After lunch Phil and Hugh fired up the simulator to practice their patter ready for their upcoming BI training and course.
Some good work was achieved , so please can we have some good weather and a dry airfield so we can get back flying.
