The 'Mighty K7' Back in Narromine
Keith
Dixon and Anne Elliott's new look K7 (VH-GQX) is back in Narromine
after its 40-yearly makeover by Tom Gilbert at Temora. It was an
interesting trip, to and from Temora, towing a HUGE enclosed trailer,
kindly lent by two pilots from Gulgong. There's a long story attached
to that, but best not to go into it!
Thanks go to Tom and Scott for all the hardwork (they're pleased to get it out of their workshop!) to all the pilots who dropped into Tom's and reported on the work being done, to Tom, Scott, Graham and two other strong men who de-rigged at Temora, to the trailer(s) owners and to Barry, Fred, Rob, Warren and Lynne who helped Keith rig the K7 at Narromine.
Now all we're waiting on is some good weather in which to take her up!
Next time you visit Narromine and would like to see Tom's magnificent handiwork, (or have a flight in a real glider) give Keith or Anne a call on 02 6889 1229; email
