red750 Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Gunna need your gumboots and brolly by the look of it Graeme. Hasn't stopped raining since late last night, and weather app says it will stay this way all weekend.
GraemeK Posted November 23, 2018 Author Posted November 23, 2018 Yep Peter, I was going to take up Kaz's solution of prayer, but I think if I tried that I might just be struck down by bolts of lightning ... See what happens, tomorrow is briefing day and if all turns out OK I'll have some fun marshalling aircraft on Sunday.
GraemeK Posted November 24, 2018 Author Posted November 24, 2018 Airfield looking great, lots of activity setting up, some incredible acrobatic practice in the Decathlon - should be a great day tomorrow!
red750 Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 It;s about 50 years since I first flew there. (1968-69). The "office" was a caravan parked near the southern fence, and the planes were Beech B-19A Sport, the baby 2-seat Musketeer. 1
djpacro Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 ... incredible acrobatic practice in the Decathlon how could I miss it

djpacro Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Not many. The most exciting part was when CASA went to investigate the sausages with the onion on top. 3
