there was frontal activity about today.
one front had passed over us last night and another was due tonight.
all about were showers of rain and fluffy overcast.
a lovely ducks day really.
my old mate Ant had arranged to come for a fly this afternoon, if he
could make it.
when I arrived at the hangar the club was about to hold a meeting for
members in the clubhouse.
I entertained the idea of attending for a minute or two, after all
there were rain showers passing through, but all around me at the
present moment were white fluffy clouds interspersed and blue sky.
the blueness of the sky set against a backdrop of the most magnificent
cloud formations was irresistable. stuff the boring old meeting I was
going flying.
after giving the engine a check over and doing the obligatory fuel
decant I pulled the Tailwind out of the hangar, over
the lip of the door tracks and down the bitumen to rest against the
permanently pegged chain I use as a chock.

Gotta love "leprecaun green" :-) Down amongst wee folk, eh Stealth?
Jeez, and I spent the day buying and putting up light fittings - some people
have all the fun!
Thanks for telling us about your day :-(

Hear, Hear! Nice one, Stealth. The bloody wind is so strong over here
that my visit to the hangar tomorrow will be as much to ensure it is
still there as to do things with the aircraft trapped inside it....
Yeah, got tomorrow off- bloody weather!!

No way known to man! He's just involved in minor titivations and trivial
maintenance!

my auster will be re registered as an experimental amateurbuilt
aircraft when the restoration is completed.
....unless the heavens move and CASA grows some intelligence and
introduces Canadian style maintenance in the mean time.
one of the guys asked me what it would be called on completion since
the aircraft must be registered with a "type name".
"Auster J1B Restoration" was my answer.
I dont know why people dont believe me.
