Sorry for not getting back sooner with info on the Airfield.
This week's storms had caused havok on local infrastructure, and I hadn't been able to phone Rod. My concern was that him being out there isolated something may have happened. My concern after close to a week had me call the Police out at Katoomba on Friday night. Well, Rod got a real surpise out of this unexpected visit! May have even scored a student out of this too with one of the Police officers looking to take up flying!
The storm had blown out the two land lines at the Airfield and knocked out one of his mobile phones. All is otherwise good. A previous storm saw lightning strike the main hanger, which blew apart one of the girders.
After all that, Rod has again kindly made the Airfield available to us for Saturday the 13'th. Valentine's day is the next day!
I'll try not to be late this time,
. I'll make my mobile number available to anyone wanting to come, if you like, should any last minute things happen,
. PM me. Not necessay as a requirement to come, only a courtesy on my part.
