After discovering that gravity and no thermals means the Viking does not stay up! Our intrepid B cat proves the gravity theory once again – this time piloting the baby winch across wet ground!!! Unfortunately no photos to laugh at, but rest assured once again DP needed a retrieve crew!
WB922 passes its C of A and the aircraft is back in the air. Our thanks to Dave Bullock and Adam Clarke for their hard work.
C of A finds no major problems, however the release hook needs replacing and the seat backs need some attention. Otherwise the aircraft is in very good condition.
The cable was changed and we now have no knots.
On Friday both the Vintage Flight and Air Cadet operation flew sharing the airfield with a Sports Car Track Day. After the days flying Craig, John and Phil passed their Bronze exams.
Domonic and Chris collected a new roll of 4mm cable from Wales last week. Hopefully we can change the cable before we fly next and see fewer launch failures.
