TUAM LKSC by Allan Buttenshaw

Hello All,

From the desk;

                Week one saw Jenny and I repair the Clubhouse broken window and sash cords, all works well now.

                The new seals were fitted to IUR’s canopies and they are now “settling in”.

I managed to transfer bulk fuel in tanks with Ian before he left then took delivery of PULP and have some 2400 liters of mix for the tug.

Avgas has been delivered too!

During the week of no bookings 19 flights were made over 2 days.

Saturday the club 2^nd Grob, GFP was rigged with help from Dave Shorter, Vic Hatfield (Duty Instructor) and others, it then flew several AEFs on the day.

Sunday was a reasonable day, notable achievement was a first solo in the Junior by Jay Vine, a promising junior cadet member, of note, his father, an instructor at BAE, is interested in flying the tug!

I have done some watering on the grass area and attended to a minor disaster with the plumbing that needed a “Technical tap” to relieve a stuck switch.

All in all a rewarding week, some aspects of Saturday's flying will be reported on by the CFI,

Plans for this week are; 50 hourly on Junior and relocating club Jantar to Garry Ransby’s hangar and fitting of GFP with GKD into the centre club hangar. GKD will go into the back I hope, it has only a few hours to it’s next 100 hourly!

Regards,

Allbutts.
