Having arrived at North Hill at 8 am and ensuring name was on the list it was a slow start to the day, slowly aircraft emerged from the hangar and daily inspection duly carried out. There was a short flying list maybe due to the poor visibility / threat of thunderstorms (which went to Wales and further North).
