January 19th. 2011.

But one day of good flying and that was on Friday 14th when Tim and Glyn both took high tows up onto Mount Egmont. Tim dashed here there and everywhere as well as going round the mountain three times during his flight of three hours forty minutes. Glyn, not to be outdone, was away for two and a half hours in the PW5. We should have flown on Saturday because Sunday was a bit too windy but however positive enough because John Frew was at the controls of RWS. Welcome back John.


Overhead the Ahu Ahu swamp.

Coming round the back of the mountain.

Work has resumed on the hangar. The door frames are now in place. Once they are clad, the exterior wall cladding of the main hangar can be moved across to the wall of the new extension.


Both sets of door frames in place. The top frame’s track appears to be curved. Or am I seeing things.



Steve and Debra took a trip to Omarama and came back with Steve’s Christmas present to himself. Word has it that there is a Nimbus Two in the trailer. We await the unveiling.
