Back from holiday in sunny Darwin, flew into Lake Keepit on Monday morning. Brilliant sunshine, and a large crew of helpers for our maintenance week. Very cold thought - at least for someone who has just come back from Darwin.
Wendy Medlicott and Marga Tilley kindly offered to cater for the workers, and this has taken a load of all the workers - not having to worry about cooking after a hard day's work on the gliders. So far it all seems to be working well, and there is always someone around to help with rigging gliders or turning wings over and so on. Also plenty of second opinions! Only drawback is that maybe we are doing more talking than working!
Ray Tilley has been co-ordinating the workers, and supervising work on the Grob 103. Laurie Murray came up to do Harry and Wendy Medlicott's gliders, but has been available to give advice to the rest of us, which has been great. Dave Turner has finished his hornet, and is now working on LS7 with me, and probably we'll move on the the LS6 tomorrow. Ian Sawell is doing some fibreglassing jobs - making a wingwalker for the Jantar at present. John Clark and Graham Hollond working on the Puchatek, John Tresize, Geoff Neely, Bob Emery and Robin Walker also helping out. Sorry if I have missed anyone.
It has been a great turnout
