The occurrences and happenings at Shalbourne Soaring Society. A gliding club near Andover, Newbury and Hungerford.

New winch chassis has arrived!



Today Rod Harris and myself collected the newly fabricated chassis from Newbury which will be used to mount the Tost winch from the old bus chassis.

With the help of James H we managed to manhandle it off Pete Ellison's trailer and into the garage. Next stage is to give it a good coat of primer before being given a top coat prior to assembly. I think James has the painting in hand but if you feel like helping please get in touch with James first.

When this job is complete we will no longer have to worry about maintaining a prime mover for our back up winch which is a great step forward.

Thanks to Rod for the use of his Sprinter, Pete for the use of his trailer and also to James for designing the chassis.
