| 2. Recovery Trailer Ray Bowden has generously allowed the Club to have use of his flat bed trailer. This is located on the western side of the smaller Somerset Microlights hangar. At the risk of stating the obvious, members are responsible for making sure it is road-worthy and that their aircraft can be safely carried on it. |

| 3. Marquee Located on top of the lockers in the main Somerset Microlights hangar. Normally used for the annual Fly In and BBQ but you're welcome to use it at other times. |  |
| 4. Warpdrive Propeller Pitch Protractor Lives in the Over Water Kit bag in Jim's cabin. Best used at the tip of the prop blade for maximum accuracy and repeatability on warp drive or other propellers. |  |
