Subject: Dave and GLM's retrieve from Watts.
   
What can I say, Kookaburra GLM got special treatment when it went to Watts Bridge.

Steve from the local aerobatic club came asking for me and offering hangar space for the Kookaburra. They pushed their planes to the back of their hangar for GLM.

On the way home at Tagoolawah Dave Guzzwells' radiator failed in a cloud of steam. While at the servo an old hang gliding friend of mine John Blain ("Blaino") turned up to get a bottle of milk.

"Follow me to Ramblers drop zone just up the road and we can put the glider in the hangar while the car gets fixed".

Poor Dave took GLM out there out of kindness and then got stuck out for another night while his car was fixed. At least he broke down where he had a pub to stay in and a hangar for the Kookaburra.
   
Thanks again Dave and everyone who helped.
 
Cheers,
