19th August was WET WET WET WET WET WET WET did I say WET.

What do ya do when the precipitation is EPIC you do some MUSTANG stuff like putting the panels back on with those 50 Million Screws.....

Whilst Gary & Wayne were getting Screw'd (Sharp lil Buggers) I gave TVG a good going over with some Silvero came up nice.

All sparkly like.

The only way to get top screws in comfortably get up top.

Running very nice look at those grey pipes lovely.

The Screwing continues no kidding it takes a couple hours to get the lil Buggers back in.

Wet it is the big puddle is about 20cms deep.

Gary & RVH coming for Gas. In the hopes of getting to Hawera Dawn Raid and Breakfast.

Just saw the WX forecast I think it will be a roll over and go back to sleep day.

Just a tad soggy check out the Taxi Tyre marks.

Alan shot out Yesterday Sat and got out for a bit although gathered a good dose of Mud thrown in.

Now shout out to me Big Bro Ken who managed to make it to 60 years not out Excellent and Outstanding.

Here he is enjoying some aviation at the RAANZ Fly-in 2010.

To celebrate they are going BUSH somewheres the Team about to head off.

Remember that Blue stuff in the background........

Popped down around lunch time Gary & SNG were in for Gas amongst other stuff. As was Wayne.

Yes it's all going fine again at the pumps. It was magic Mirrors and smoke that buggered the last two weekends.

Couple Hares getting frisky.

After some twiggling and swizling we pulled the Mustang out to give her a good run.

Chaps watching her do her thing. To wet to go flying anyhoo would have come back covered in mud. Although in saying that if we can fly much better than ground running.

Full Power burst with yours truly at the rear as Ballast I am good at ballasting and around the right weight........

Then back in the hangar for another look about. Which one needs to do as TVG ie the Mustang being quite a technical lil beastie in her operations.

The team giving her a good looking over Gary, Wayne and Craig.

Gary in the middle of one of his favorite past times panel screw removal all 50 millionish of them....

Assistant screw remover assisting in screw removal some just don't like to come out and have to be persuaded.

Gary taking a break from the screw thing.

Then hello whats that then.

Getting ready for the dismount all screw removal completed I think he's getting quicker.

Mountain there .... not looking particulary happy.

She was a tad damp and Muddy by all accounts looking at SNG's tail wheel a bit of 3 x 3 action.

SNG & Gary heading for FERNDENE on the taxi RWY-27.

Gone.
