South Marston is a hive of activity these days with a wave of enthusiasm ‘for work off the field. (Some people have to be persuaded to fly!) Taking shape in the workshop. under the guiding hand of Stan Perry, is “The Monster~- a two-drum winch powered by an A.E.C. 7.7 litre diesel engine. On completion this will be mounted on a diesel lorry. Blast-off should be sometime in May. Flying wise, we are grateful to tug friends Howard Greenaway and Harvey Britton for their visits, enabling many members to “pass out” Oil aero-tows. Incidentally, we expect to have a resident tug shortly. Visitors are always welcome, especially on “At Home” day, Saturday 9th June.
