Aston Down – Wednesday 25th August 2021 (John Tomlinson)

A trip down for another gliding competition, which I believe were the Junior Nationals & Cotswold Regionals.

On arrival we surveyed the field and grid area from a distance and then had an excellent cuppa at the cafe, one of our team having a fantastic late breakfast.

We then obtained permission to walk the tower and open hangar area’s, then were able to walk along the grid line up area.

I have three outstanding items from the hangar, can anyone help? See those marked with a ***.
