We're getting excited about some developments at Easterton!
There'll soon be a new entrance, taking a more direct route into the site. This will let us extend runway 08 by about 80-90 metres, with the first stretch being laid with Perfo, taking launches as far as the strip we carefully prepared a few years back.
And the latest arrival, courtesy of Fulmar, is a Skylaunch winch, running on LPG, which should be here as soon as travel restrictions allow our friends at Lossiemouth to collect it for us. This should revolutionise our winch launching capabilities.
Photos show the space the guys have made in the hangar and the winch sitting ready for collection. In the meantime, instructors and tuggies have been hard at work refreshing currency, so with luck it will be all systems go from 12 April.
