I think we have found a replacement for late in the day Eric. I refer to the "habit" of Eric Gosse haveing a nice days flying and landing back/out late in the day. The new contender for the title of Prince of Darkness(or perhaps twilite Tim?) is Bob Martin. The only one left flying at 8:30pm

From the launch we had a couple of landbacks including Bob in ZP and WD who also had an engine problem and landed out at Makarora for a road retrieve as there were cattle on the strip to prevent an aero retrieve.

Aero retrieves have been taken by YY & BO from the Cass River, IW from Glentanner, GX from the Dingle, TK from Pukaki and GP from the Ben Avon Strip - a busy day for retrieve pilots (which makes them very happy!!!)

Grae Harrison was taken to Timaru hospital and Doctor John reports he was OK in the Hospital.
Will keep you up todate with whats happening.

Its now 9:10pm and the last retrieve has just taken off to get Twilight Tim from the Maitland strip....

For those observant soles seeing Grae get points for today-CH was flown by backup pilot Theo Newfield.

Nite nite
