Terry enjoys a flight in the Astir

Terry had an enjoyable flight with Rolf in the Twin Astir yesterday afternoon.

The first two days of June saw rainfall of 42.4ml. A great start to the month with everything now looking fresh and green for the long weekend. In between flying Eddie has been kept busy with various winter jobs around the property as well as a tidy up in the hangar.
