With the rain lashing down outside, Richard F, Dave C, Tom
S, Ian H, William P and JB spent a very successful day at the
rubbing down the wings and Fuselage of the K21 KEK in preparation for
Hard Waxing. It's was a messy old business - water and gel residue all
over the place! After about half an hour Richard was going around
checking that all the heaters were turned off - "It's hot work this!"
he said.
Everyone worked really hard all day and by 5pm all that hard work was
beginning to show and KEK was gleaming. It will be left for a few days
to dry out completely while Ian M and Andrew L carry out
maintenance work for the Annual Inspection, then it will get a final
Hard-Wax and polish.
As the day shift knocked off Andrew L arrived for the night shift.
First job to remove the wheel - caked in sheep's sh!t and smelling
pretty ripe too! I tried telling him the old saying "Where there's muck
there's money" but I could see that he wasn't convinced!
When I left he was preparing the wing tips for re-spraying - What a hero! He'd already done a day's work - got home, had tea and driven up to the club to get stuck in for the evening! What a guy! What a team! What a Club!
Happy Christmas and Roll on the Summer!
