that number you can ring??

[adz_5691]

hey guys,

 

im at school in bega and ive just remembered that my lil brothers instructor in moruya had given him a number to ring to find out the weather at the airport up there, and i was wondering if there was one in merimbula because id love an excuse to leave here half an hour early and go for a fly. problem is i cant raise my instructor and im booked in for 3.30... and the clouds have been gathering all morning in bega. so id love to know what the weather/wind/clouds were like in merimbula. if this makes sense to you all then great, if not... i dont blame you! haha.

 

have a good one.

Adz, hope this is what you want; (from a 1-yr old ERSA) Ian Baker (not the one we know obviously) is the handling agent: 02 6495 4211, or 0429 044 011.

 

Decca.

 

PS That's Merimbula, did you want Moruya??
