Re: What did you do today?

Greased the Cowley this morning. Only one of the 11 nipples was blocked - result. Scraped some old underseal off the inner wings and filled the front corners of the sills with Bilt Hamber, it will need a full injection treatment later in the summer but not today. Today is a beach day - just loading ...

Re: What did you do today?

Did a 10 hour stint in the Cowley today. Only travelling from Lowestoft down to Southampton but we decided to follow the 1955 AA handbook maps (cross-checked with a modern atlas and backed up by sat nav when directional instinct wavered).
