At last a day with a working tug AND a working tuggie! The forecast was terrible again, but it lied, and we had a good day.
We started by rigging the Grob 103, which went together quite straightforwardly, but needed a good deal of cleaning. Karen and Gerhard flew in the Grob, Nigel and Patricia flew in the Puchatek with me, and Garry flew with John Deutsch, so all the 2-seaters were going.
Harry Potts flew the LS6, and Jim Thompson, fixed the PTT switch in the Junior, before leaving at mid-day. Thanks Jim.
During all this activity, Sam Clift came out to spray the weeds with a small boomspray on the back of a four wheeler. He has done a great job, and the catheads are looking sick already.
Another visitor from Switzerland turned up, so I gave him a quick check flight.
Nigel had an interesting flight in some convergence (I think) - or was that Monday - where you could just cruise along the street at cloudbase. He is progressing well. Patricia is not too sure if gliding is for her, but I'm trying to encourage her to continue.
