For sure; the strainer and the oil filter would have had enough stuff to reconstruct the camshaft serial number
Having weathered the heavy winter period in Ancona (nice airport and affordable), we flew back yesterday. Biggest issue were the snow walls after clearing and the path to the hangar…
Flight itself was impressive. OAT down to -16deg, engine worked fine, so did the heating..
We did nothing with the aircraft. Instead we patched holes in the hangar roof while the weather was calm enough! I’ve also done my BGA ARC signatory course, so some time in 2024 I should be able to sign off the ARC on our part 21 gliders, once I’ve done a couple of supervised ARC renewals.
Hopefully it’s not all for naught, there’s another threat of losing our airfield, but that is going to be probably at least 3-4 years off yet.

Thanks for sharing those pictures! The region you flew on, and particularly the Horningsrinde, is on my route when I fly to Alsace, to visit friends, family, or simply my beloved native region. In the last 2 years, destinations somewhere in Alsace represented close to half of all travels I undertook with “Emmie”.
Coming back to “what did I do with my aircraft” last weekend, as well as a couple weekends before (and possibly several more to come): look with envy at my flying pictures of last summer and dream… Bosco, your pics contributed to that! :)
FZFG so we took another of my son’s birthday presents to fly in a field. The motor is powerful but unfortunately it doesn’t fly amazingly well
finally found the screenshot I was looking for a week ago…
A view from our webcam, pointed towards the hangars (100m away), no one flying… yet
Temps have gone up considerably as I write these lines, and precips have turned to liquid…
