TVAL Nov 2022

Was intended to have a small flying display in conjunction with crew practice, but a rising wind meant the Camel only flew briefly. A Jaguar club were official guests, us other gawkers were invited along for the hangar tour.

That is two flying weekends in a row ruined by weather then. Unusual, and disappointing for all the volunteers who come from all over NZ to be at these weeknds. I hope the next one will be good weather for them.

They are such works of art... I've really missed seeing them stretch their wings

Yes, I was wondering the same

Is it a tool for clearing the gun when it jams?

My guess is something of that nature too.
