Another Non-Flying Day Sun 23 Jul 25

The start of the year has seen a run of weather affected flying days.  Of the planned seven flying days to date, we have got airborne on just two.  All very frustrating.

We did have a very full flying list.  However, given the forecast, Nigel decided that it would be the perfect opportunity to weigh the tug.  For some reason or other this has to be done every 10 years.  At the mention of “wings off” the very full flying list started to thin out as the thought of another popped hernia entered the thoughts of many.

Anyway, the key instrument in all this was brought out of its 10 year retirement.

With Nigel to the fore……

……there followed a quick Committee meeting where the team digested how they might have undertaken the task 10 years ago!

Propped up, wings off, and wings back on it was all over in a flash!

Well, more like 6 hours.

If you missed this exciting event today, make a note in your diary that 2035 is your next opportunity.
