Ladies men

This is possibly the last time you will see men in the ladies toilets!! Eddie, Neil & Johannes have been extremely busy putting the partitions in for the toilets and showers and couldn't help but try them out. A big thanks to David who was here earlier in the week helping as well. We have had the most rainfall for a long time this past week - close to 40ml in 24 hours. Rain has continued intermittently today.

IS28 for the SportAviation fleet




Liz & Dave (top) called in today on their way to Albury. Dave took the opportunity to slip in a quick flight in HDK before heading on their way. Earlier in the week Dave and Eddie (middle) picked up GVY from Benalla - another two seater for the fleet. Late this morning Jake had a lesson in the EuroFox with Eddie and then enjoyed some gliding instruction with Rolf (above) in the Blanik this afternoon - the best of both worlds!! The EuroFox has been kept busy with David, then Nigel and John flying with Eddie throughout the week.

Windy conditions





This last week has seen very windy conditions - not so good for gliding. Yesterday the maximum temperature was 31 degrees with gusts up to 30 knots. A big thanks to Johannes (middle) and Jutta who have been here since Wednesday evening helping Eddie (top)with the Ammenities block.Kel (above) was hopeful of trying out one of the new showers but no taps/shower head as yet - hopefully by the end of the week.

Great job fellas!!

Looking good!

Some bits are very tricky


Cutting tiles takes a lot of concentration.


Ric, Neil and Eddie have done a great job this week on the amenities block. Ric and Neil have been busy screwing on the outside tin as well as hanging doors while Eddie has continued tiling.

Busy week building

Ric (above) arrived this afternoon and after a flight with Eddie in the EuroFox began hanging the doors. Birthday boy Dave had an enjoyable flight in HDK this afternoon. Earlier in the week Graham from Kyabram came over for a few hours flying in the EuroFox. Rolf has been at Baccus Marsh attending an instructor's course. Great to see Graham from Benalla who called in this week and had lunch with Eddie. Also, great to see Mark from Mt Beauty who flew in to check out the progress on the caravan park. Meanwhile Eddie has been extremely busy painting and tiling. No rest for the wicked!!
