The problem today was the weather once again. Cloudbase was 420ft above sea level. As the airfield is 820 ft above sea level we were in cloud ( fog ) all day. This only lifted occasionally to allow it to rain properly.
The clubhouse was busy once again. Today's work programme saw the Puchacz project continuing, The tractors washed and the Main Generator serviced. The backup generator started well and provided an slightly restricted electrical supply all day: we could only boil one kettle at a time; definitely a first world problem. I am sure that I missed lots of other work going on. Everyone seemed busy.

A usual, there were a couple of lectures today. Winch launching with Rick Wiles and the Instrumentation with Gavin Short. If you add to this some simulator flying, tea and lunch breaks it was a busy, busy day.

Thank you everyone for your efforts and good humour.
