Just need the rain to stop/cloudbase to lift a bit so's we can do some flying LOL
Haha - Well. if she is DRV, she used to have 'Dervish' written on the port side of the nose. She still did last time I saw her sitting dustily in the hangar, about five or six years ago.. My wife still reminisces about the gentle hooting she made while gently hill soaring. And yes, the syndicate in her day was a large one, mostly consisting of folk who only turned up to fly once in a blue moon.
It would be nice to get a spot of better weather, for gliding and power flying. There are a couple of (power, obviously) aeroplanes still stranded at Perth by the grotty weather & low cloud since before Christmas.
