Rudder, Ken & Colette flew in from Beulah, and Reconditioning the Leather

 Maurice April and Rick Riewe installed and rudder. We began with the small pieces, re-installing hardware and following drawings to mount each piece.

Dan's colleague dropped in for a visit - their father/grandfather worked on Tiger Moth's in WWII. Within minutes they both had a clean rag in hand along with a leather re-conditioner and completed the job of cleaning and reconditioning all the leather pieces.

 The Tiger Moth attracts a stream of fascinated visitors - soon this amazing antique will be back in Brandon and many Winnipegers are taking advantage of the opportunity to check it out while it is at Lyncrest Airport.
