Ahhhrrgggg – frustration!

The weather has been lovely recently and poor old JT is still in bits in the small steel shed that is the hangar at the strip. Waiting now for new gasket seals – the ones we have are too thick………our engineer went silent on us for a bit, but resurfaced to inform us of the above.

We all just want JT flying again – not least me. I really want to get to Orkney with the machine this year and do a tour of the west coast and islands. I have probably far too optimistic plans to finally get across to Solas to camp on the beach, but no doubt as soon as JT is back to flying condition the famous Scottish summer will thwart my best laid plans….

I haven’t flown JT since late September and she’s been out of action herself since November – this permit renewal is turning into the long, drawn out affair we all thought we’d be avoiding this year. Last year was bad enough.

I will live in hope however and perhaps one day in the not too distant future, I’ll be able to post something actually about flying the thing!

Watch this space, though goodness knows why…………….
