The Wintervogel Squadron was almost at full force when we flew to the Franschoek valley this morning. We found this beautiful landing strip, and invaded it for a while. We ended the day off with a wors braai at Wintervogel, listening to Grumpy and Rusty about the dogfights they had.

"beautiful landing strip"

belongs to Moreson, and landing is on invitation, I think. We flew overhead and were asked if we wanted to come and visit.

The Wintervogel Squadron has been somewhat depleted over the holidays, with only the "hard core" doing the necessary. ## ## ## ##

Come on guys, we need to get together to do the planning for the new years events.

But never fear, watch this space, Grumpy has one up his sleeve which will be hatched shortly. (^^) (^^) (^^)

All the best for the new year, and fly safe. vhpy vhpy

Regards,

Rusty
