An intrepid band of club members, brought together via the "winterflying"
email group assembled at the airfield all desperate to take to the air after so
many miserable non-flying days. At the start of the day Christine and
Phil appeared, to ferry the supermunk to Hus Bos for its service. Then
everyone mucked in and, despite the lack of any rostered crew, the flying ran
remarkably smoothly. The weather was dry and sometimes even sunny, but
with a cool and brisk wind and VERY gusty. Just the sort of conditions to
blow off the cobwebs and test old skills! K13 CCC was put through its
paces by a number of club members (including Robin, Gail, Gavin, Eric, Bob K,
mick F, Paul B and myself), meanwhile Alan and Trish flew their DG 300 and
George brought out his newly acquired PIK20 to try it out. To add to the
activity, Mick continued work extending the heating system to the
restaurant/briefing room building and Liz was hard at work preparing for
tomorrow's Christmas meal. I mustn't forget to mention Kath and Jane, as
always hard at it keeping the club clean and provided with supplies.
