Day 1 of the road trip to Poland

With passports checked for the umpteenth time, and with the trailer securely attached to John Borland’s Discovery, mid-morning John, Vicky and myself set off on our road trip taking a K21 glider (KEK) to Poland for a full refurbishment and other related work.

We had been asked by Tim Dews at Airborne Composites to take some glider parts to Poland with us so that was our first destination.With various interesting gliders and aircraft on site at Airborne Composites it would have been easy to talk with Tim and look around the workshop for the rest of the day but with a suitable schedule to work to by early afternoon we were back on the road heading to Portsmouth ahead of checking in for the night ferry sailing to Caen.

No surprise that in the ferry port car park the trailer, and more specifically it’s contents, saw some interest from fellow travellers. - Mike
