01/03/2014 Porsche Owners Visit

The First day of March made us think that Spring had perhaps arrived. The sun was shining and for the first time for weeks, a Saturday at Wellesbourne was one without howling winds!

The Porsche Owners had certainly chosen an excellent day on which to visit us, and turned up with 8 gleaming motors, and 14 members.

In the absence of our Chairman Charles, Eric welcomed the visitors.

Our regular captain for the taxi runs, Wg Cdr Mike Pollitt, valiantly offered to come over to Wellesbourne to do all the cockpit tours. Thank you Mike!

Of course, we had to get a group shot of all the Porsches with XM655, their occupants and the volunteers.

That marked the end of the visits, and Av snapped the first of the visitors to depart.

We also had our regular monthly addition to our workforce with cadets and instructors from 150 (City of Oxford) sqn. ATC and 240 (Darlaston) sqn. ATC who continued with the ongoing task of refurbishing the Bomb Trolley, assisting with an aircraft tyre change, and doing some more painting on the Sentinel Tug.
