<---- Dave's Tumblin' Dice went dead stick and he had to land it in
the outfield. He thought the plane was "this" side of the tree .... it
wasn't.
Luckily Jim was there to help Dave retrieve it and Simon was on hand to
offer advice (?) and record the happy scene. The plane suffered very
little damage.
(It must have been like trying
to eat chop suey with very long chop-sticks ed.)
12 Aug
... it was a very hot day (luckily the
fashion police were nowhere to be seen)
A day without a cloud in sight
11 August
Items suplus to requirements (i.e. junk)
Andy and Malcolm battled in the searing heat to clear-out the NVA
storage container. They did a great job.
This picture shows the items destined for the dump (excepting the mowers
we hope). "It's all good stuff, a lot of nice lawn ornaments there,"
proclaimed Andy Hibbert, trying to flog it off .

wind

Despite the howling wind and the soggy field the A-team were there - we
now have a new floor in the shed!

Despite the strong winds and soggy conditions., the hardier of our
number were flying or humping planks, destined to be as new floor for
the shed and repairs to the starting benches - while others were taking
pictures of them :-)
