Sunday 15th May 2011

Back to Rissington at last to get G-BYJA fully restored to flyable condition. Not all that much to do now: just restore the cable and push-rod linkages for the rudder and nosewheel, replace the carpets and check all round.


It's noticeably spring here in the Cotswolds. The fields all around the airfield are either bright green or yellow (oilseed rape) and many of the green ones are dotted with new, very white, life:

An MT03 flew in with an instructor and trainee pilot aboard. I heard from Tony later that this machine was likely to be a regular visitor and making use of our empty runways for training.

By the time I left, G-BYJA was, I hoped, back in flying condition.
