Devon Strut flyin to Belle Vue and Watchford Farm - Sadly despite arriving early at the airfield, in performing our pre flight checks we discovered the spring in the pilot's door catch was broken and therefore making locking the door impossible.  So back home we searched for advice on how to mend without de-riveting the assembly
31 May 2008 Dunkeswell - LAA and Devon Strut flyin
13 September 2009 Henstridge and then onto Watchford Farm for a Devon Strut fly in
