Stratford on 2-6-2019

After a drive North in "adventurous" weather and catching up with Ray Deerness for Saturday night, I headed on to Stratford in improving weather but unfortunately not flyable for me due to quite a strong cold Southerly cross wind.  ( As Nick F said "Sunday 2nd June in one word BLOODY COLD " - that's actually two words Nick but you get the idea!).

However there was action around the hangars:  (I reckon Stratford Aerodrome is a neat place as there is almost always something going on and people to talk aircraft with).

Sisler Cygnet ZK-CYG2 has been re-engined with a Rotax 912 UL and was undergoing weight and balance checks.

The second hangar from the Aero Club was open and I took the opportunity to photo a couple of aircraft that have not flown for a long time - Jodel D 11 ZK-DGV,

and the Hovey Delta Hawk ZK-JAU.

It was a pity about the weather because Jodel D 9 ZK-KMM was ready to go.
